In 1874, Philip Bliss (1838-1876) was in high demand as a musician and composer. His primary means of income was in giving concerts and singing at conventions, accompanied by his wife Lucy, through which he could promote and sell his music.

Love the crosses!!
Yay, Indiana wood!
Lovely!
That’s beautiful! Contest 1000
Thank you!
Contest 1000. Really like the VSL of 25”, and the baritone sound it can lend.
Thanks for your comments!
Beautiful version of this song!
Thank you for listening. This is one of my favorite American tunes and I love to play it. It's such an expressive piece.
Contest
thank you!!!!
903 looks great and sounds great. I’d imagine 1000 will be as nice or better. Contest 1000.
You're in! And thanks for your comment!

Oh how beautiful! You don't happen to have a tab for it?? I would be willing to pay for it.
Sorry but I don’t use tabs. I just hum a song a couple of times and then start strumming. One of the advantages of playing an instrument tuned to a chord. 🙂
You are a lucky one who is able to do that .... Thanks for your reply.
Amazes me how sweet an instrument with so few strings can sound!🤗
@@reginarose9139 this is our latest dulcimer #903. I’m very pleased with its tone.
Richard's painting will arrive soon! I wish I could say the same for Dan's dulcimer. Please put in my name for #1000. I would like to see a combination of Port Orford cedar and Myrtle. This one # 903 sounds great especially in the hands of a master!
Ya never know who's going to win this one! I've done several Myrtle and Port Orford Cedar dulcimers. They are beautiful and sound great. It's been hard getting PO Cedar for dulcimer tops recently though.
I am a subscriber and MD player. Would love to win #1000.

Beautiful!
Thanks
Beautiful!
Thank you!
😊😊👍👍Wonderful!
Beautiful! Love the shirt! Nice haircut-you clean up well! I've always been curious as to why the strum hollow exists as it seems that nobody ever actually strums there?
Strum hollow is used by some but not all. Sound gets pretty tinny the closer to the bridge you go.
Que som lindo! ☺️
Beautiful !
Thanks. I'd love to sit on the wall at Shore Acres and play one of our flutes while watching the Ocean Waves!
Muito lindo!
Xeque demais! 🔥
Oh, just awesome, what a beautiful sound and beautiful dulcimer! Would you share what tuning you're using please?
It’s just a simple DAD tuning. Nothing fancy. Thanks for your comment. This dulcimer sold right after I published this video but I’m currently building a similar dulcimer out of Cherry and Spruce. I’m looking forward to hearing it!
Thank you! You build wonderful dulcimers -I’ll look forward to hearing the next one you finish!
Thanks for the encouragement!@@LynnGould-dk6jt
It's amazing always knowing tradicional songs by your channel.
❤back in the 70's I made one in college ❤ and still have it.❤❤😂
❤
Thank you ❤.
Glad you enjoy the channel
I hope you play it from time to time.
Nice!!!
Thanks!
Now you need to publish the tabs so we can all learn it.
I don’t use tabs. I just hum it a few times then play it.
Me too! @@NewTraditionsDulcimers
Oh man! Another all time favorite! Whenever I hear this song I'm transported to Harpers Ferry and remembering seeing the confluence of the Shenandoah and the Potomac from the pedestrian bridge that crosses over from the C&O towpath to the town. Thanks for the memories.
Harpers Ferry was one of our favorite places to visit during our time in Maryland. So much of America happened in that little corner of our nation.
Beautifully done! I remember the first time I ever heard this song. On KFML AM in Denver . They were the best free-form station ever. Thanks for putting this up. I love the figure in the wood on the back.
Thanks for the comment ... KFML WOW!!!!! now there's a blast from my past ...
Awesome, ty
Thanks for the encouragement.

I've never seen a night so long And time goes crawling by The moon just went behind the clouds To hide its face and cry.
Great lyric!!!
How much do you get for one these days? Lovely sounding instrument…
Our base price is $650.00
Well done enjoyed your playing , your dulcimer has one more fret than mine , your 2nd and 3rd frets occupy my 2 nd fret ,finding it hard to describe , ah think gonna need a fret added to my dulcimer.
Thanks for the kind comment. We usually install a 1 1/2 fret on all of our dulcimers here at New Traditions.
Beautiful! I love the way you put the camera to record your videos because I can see the positions of your left hand and I can try it like a lesson.
Thank you. I hope the video helps you as you play this wonderful old song.
