I once saw a guy who put strategically placed quarters under the piano wires of a grand piano. It created an almost, but different, sound like a harpsichord.
@@deedeetibbits You better hope they don’t find musical life on some other distant solar system or you’ll have to learn all new musical instruments! 🤔🤣🤣🤣🎵🎶🎼
Great sounds and thanks DeeDee. My first introduction to the hammered dulcimer was in Mountain Home, Arkansas 1991. The musician was a woman named Lucy Reilly. After all these years I can still hear the music in my mind
Lord preserve us and protect us, we been drinkin whiskey fore breakfast Oooohhhh. I first heard this song on a Mike Cross album titled Live and Kicking. I later heard him sing it live. Good times.
@@deedeetibbits It's not gross at all. He mostly sings fun and funny stuff. Search Mike Cross - Whiskey 'Fore Breakfast on this platform. I've been a fan of his since 1985. I'm also thankful for the way that you make the world a more beautiful place through music. 🎶 Cheers, Ed
I love your rendition of this. The dampening on the bass bridge was a wonderful addition. I could listen all day. My grandchildren are enjoying this too.
Always has been one of my favorite instruments. I had the pleasure of hearing on on the regular for years during show season. I could never just walk by, always had to stop, even if just for a few moments.
WOW, how stunningly beautiful is this performance?! Your splendid rendition of 'Whiskey Before Breakfast' is proof that the best way to start the day is with a hearty dose of Hammered Dulcimer Magic 🎵💫 Your magnificent playing is like a breath of fresh air, infusing each note with so much life and personality. Thank you SO much for sharing your incredible talent with us, DeeDee! Keep those strings singing, and stay awesome! The world could use a little more sparkle, and you are just the one to provide it! 🎼🌎✨🙏😊
Thank You.Dad loved to hear the dulcimer. He'sbeen gone for quite awhile.i enjoy it as well.i had never seen anyone play it before.bet He heard you playing it.keep playing it.
That’s actually what started my channel. Last Christmas I put 12 Christmas songs on several different instruments on my channel…and Carol of the Bells went viral…and that inspired me to share more! I also have a Christmas cd that I waited twenty years to record! Thanks for asking🎶
Whiskey before breakfast? No wonder the dulcimer's hammered! Still sounded great, thanks to DeeDee
😂
🤭🍻
Hahaha 😂
Tacky.
There's hammers.
The dulcimer is definitely hammered, but she's not. 😂😂 She is very talented.
Who needs whisky before breakfast when one can listen to this and be cheered right up to suppertime? Brava!
Couldn't agree more!
It's not an either or!
@@davew4998 "Por que no los dos?" comes to mind... 😁
Okay, I'll play for you Haggis Before Breakfast on bagpipes
Thank you DeeDee. We all need to be playing music on the porch. You’re making this a better world.
I think so too! Thanks!
"We all need to be playing music on the porch. " I think you just solved the world's troubles. Well said.
Thank you for helping keep this kind of music alive!
That’s why I do it🎶
@@deedeetibbits I'm only listening to this because I like it!
I have always enjoyed the sound of a Hammered DUlcmier
Wow this has to be one of the most beautiful dulcimers I've ever seen.
Jim Hudson! Best ever👍
What talent!!! I grinned from ear to ear for the entire song.
That makes me happy🎶😊
Thank you UA-cam for finding this amazing DeeDee player. Girl you rock.
Wow! Thanks for listening 🎶
I don't like whiskey any time of the day but I'll "sip" on this all day long.
Best response ever! I totally agree 🎶
@@deedeetibbits Well, I am kind of brilliant!!!!!..but not nearly as skilled as you on any musical instrument :)
This music before breakfast is much better! 😊
I think so too!
It's like playing directly on the wires of a piano!
It really is!🎶
I once saw a guy who put strategically placed quarters under the piano wires of a grand piano.
It created an almost, but different, sound like a harpsichord.
Wonderful Beautiful Music Beautiful Artist. Thanks Very Much !!
Thanks for listening🎁
Palm muting on a hammered dulcimer would never have occurred to me.
It’s SUCH fun!!
right? that was the coolest
Lovely to see the ukulele played in this way
😂😂😂
You've made the hammered dulcimer my favorite non-conventional instrument!
DeeDee played it for my daughters wedding along with the harp. It was so beautiful, it actually made the wedding extra special.
Yayyy!
What a great name for a tune. Whiskey Before Breakfast! And a lovely rendition of it too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, this young lady can play anything under the sun! 🌞 🎼🎶🎵😀👍🌸🌹
Haha… I just got a Korean flute…haven’t figured it out yet 😏….but I WILL!

Lucile used to come to our Michigan festival! She’s GOOD!
Bravo. I’m a brass player but I love the hammer dulcimer. This made my day. Thank you.

Whiskey before breakfast, Before Breakfast. Thanks for the great start to my day, I really needed it.
May as well start with a happy tune, eh?
The palm muting adds so much! Wow! Great playing!
Thank you! It adds a lot of “spunk” I think!
Yay! Glad we won you over a bit🎶
Got to be the greatest name for a musical instrument ever.
…means “sweet sound”
Great playing on a disappearing instrument. Wonderful 😊
Thanks for listening!
Lovely! I’ve never hear it on the Hammered Dulcimer before. Was not disappointed at all! Thank you!!!

I first heard this song on a Mike Cross album titled Live and Kicking. I later heard him sing it live. Good times.
I didn’t know it had lyrics! Can you send them to me? ( unless they’re gross🥹)

Why have I never thought to play irish music on mine! This sounds so amazing and inspiring
Perfect instrument for Irish music!!
What a great cover of that classic! Sounds so good on the hammered dulcimer.
This is nice. I figured it'd be a hot mess like actual whiskey before breakfast.
Hahaha…takes some precision….fun to play!
