The Corydon Dulcimer Society held it's first "Homecoming Retreat" on January 27 - 28th at the First Baptist Church in Salem Indiana. It was a success! We did not have one in the 2 previous years because of the pandemic and I think everyone was ready to have a good time. The Society has been having this retreat at Spring Mill State Park Inn for about 20 years, but the Inn is under renovation until 2025.
A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers, The First Baptist Church, Pastor Gorman, who worked very hard to make it a success, the Sound Crew, the bands, the Cobblestone Inn, and everyone who participated!
This months FREE TAB:
"In The Evening By The Moonlight,"
Written by James A Bland 1854 - 1911.
James was an African - American musician, composer and minstrel performer.
In Blands' lifetime, he wrote over 700 songs including: "Carry Me Back To Old Virginny, and Golden Slippers."
I really like this piece because of the nostalgic feeling in the lyrics (modified). It reminds me of "My Old Cottage Home."
I have tabbed the melody and harmony in the key of D. I love the flavor added by the use of the 1.5 fret in the tab. If you don't have a 1.5 fretted dulcimer just follow the instructions on the top left side of the page.
Enjoy!

My New Email List!
I finally have a FREE TAB email list on my new computer. My old computer has bit the dust. Luckily, I had printed an email list back in February and my granddaughter created a list for me on my new computer, however, I may have missed a few email addresses through all the transferring. If you did not get the notification by email on July 21st, 2022, please send me a message so I can get you back on my notification list. I regret any inconvenience this has caused!
