Solon Somaki Cry, David Schnaufer.
Hurry on over, David.
You got to run.
You're on the other side of the studio.
Good to see you, sir.
That, oh, yeah, say hello to the ladies by all [D] means.
That is such a simple instrument, but yet you have some pretty intricate moves on there.
Well, if it wasn't easy, I wouldn't do it.
[Bb] You've been playing quite a while, right?
Almost 20 years.
Is this the kind of thing that appears on a lot of studio sessions, recordings, and we just don't know [E] it?
I've been doing a bunch here the last six [D] years with the Judds and Emmylou [Bb] Harris and Dan Seals and [G] recently Hank Jr.
and Mark O'Connor.
You're playing on all their?
Yeah, playing on lots of the records these days.
Well, that is [Fm] wonderful.
Now on your album, do they return the favor?
Are they back on here with you?
Yeah, you betcha.
Who's on here [D] with you?
Mark O'Connor.
Got some of my favorite Mark O'Connor on my own record.
I'm real thrilled to work with him and Chad Atkins came, played some guitar.
So we got a bunch of folks on there.
Oh, good.
What do you know about the dulcimer?
[Gm] It was derived from a German zither [D] that was probably in Pennsylvania in the 1600s.
A zither being a type of stringed instrument?
Type of stringed instrument that doesn't have a neck, where the neck is sitting on top of the body of the instrument.
And [Dm] then the Appalachian folks got a hold of it and the Scotch and Irish got a hold of that German zither and simplified it and [Bm] altered it a little bit to play a wider [Bb] range of music. Very simply.
And so it's about 200 years old, I guess, the instrument itself.
Who taught you to play?
Just [D] about everybody.
I picked one up in Texas about 20 years ago and then started traveling around.
Yeah, [Bb] we got some Texans there.
We have some dulcimer players here from Texas tonight. That's [B] right.
Did you ever think that you'd see yourself recording songs or did you just pick it up as a hobby?
I picked it up and [Db] just fell in love with it and I wondered how come I didn't hear it on record.
So that's why I came to Nashville.
Did you have to sell yourself?
Hey, I'm a dulcimer [Fm] player.
I'd like to be on your recording sessions and then there go on.
What?
Absolutely.
That was the first session I did was with the Judds back on their second album, I guess, Rockin' With The Rhythm.
I just went out there to the recording studio and said,
My name's David, [Db] I play the dulcimer.
It goes sort of like this.
And so the next day he had me in to [Fm] play on the record.
Well, that's something.
You made it sound real easy, but I know it wasn't.
The direct approach.
Well, is it easy to learn how to play?
It is the easiest stringed instrument that I know of.
Simply because you've got it mastered.
But I mean, I know you have a video out.
We have the information we can put up here now on how to play the dulcimer.
What do you do?
You go through all the motions? Right.
Just learn some scales and some chords and learn how to play the last tune there,
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, Tennessee Waltz, and The Wildwood Flower.
That's very relaxing music.
It really is.
The dulcimer, only what, four strings on there?
Four [E] strings.
And it is very easy to play.
Well, you make it talk.
You [Fm] really do.
All right.
He'll be back a little bit later on in the show.
Thanks for the song there.
In the meantime, folks, this portion of Nashville Now is brought to you by X-Lax for regular people who sometimes aren't.
