So true, isn’t it?
This is another one of my favorite songs. Dolly Parton sings this and its absolutely beautiful. I tried to find her singing it and this is all I found. I wish it was just her singing, but apparently its a movie clip. Either way, you can see how beautiful this song is and of course, Dolly is amazing.
Listen closely to the lyrics. Beautiful.
So, Im trying to learn to play this on the mandolin. It might do better on a guitar and/or the instrument she is playing (which Im not yet sure what that is), but for now, Im going to try to learn on the mandolin. Im slightly embarassed to have myself singing so closely after Dolly, but we all have to aspire towards something, right? Minus the plastic surgery, of course. (Dolly, no disrespect. Im one of your biggest fans).
Now here is me. Desperately trying to figure out how to play the mandolin so it doesn’t hurt the ears. The one thing Im struggling with is strumming. If anyone out there reading this knows anything about the mandolin, or has any helpful hints when it comes to strumming, please let me know! Im finding that every song I play ends up sounding like Wagon Wheel. Im also considering taking up the Guitar. Hell, why not?
