There's an old joke about bluegrass music. There are just two songs. "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and the one that isn't Foggy Mt.
With that in mind, I can whistle Scotland the Brave, and will work it out on the DAd dulcimer style strumstick one day. But another tune is stuck in my head. It goes: Da, da, da, dum dum dum, dum dum...
Ok, just kidding. In my D string, it goes: 0 0 1 2 0 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 0 1 1 1 1 2 1 0 1 2 1 0 1 2 1 0.
Some of those adjacent notes are slid together, like the first combination of 1 and 2. Maybe I'm just inventing a song based upon Scotland the Brave, or my mind has been playing tricks on my memory. The start of it sure reminds me of Scotland the Brave. What I'd like is a title, then I'll "you tube" the thing. I can't look on you tube for Da, da...
Thanks in advance, and any other suggestions for Highland Bagpipe songs which transfer well to the dulcimer/strumstick would be appreciated.

The more I think of it, I'm confusing Scotland the brave with Scotland the brave. I've hummed it wrong so many years that I've invented a new ending to it. Now that I hear it correctly, I'll have to rethink it. By the way, you can post a picture easily, and a movie
too...but I can't seem to be able to post an audio file.
