"Aura Lea" by Vi Wickam for fiddlers

Aura Lea (sometimes spelled Aura Lee) is a sentimental ballad, with the highly traditional theme of a beautiful young woman with shining hair.  The lyrics were written by W. W. Fosdick, and the melody was composed George R. Poulton - one of Vi's ancestors.

You will recognize the melody from the 1956 Elvis Presley hit, "Love Me Tender," with new lyrics by Ken Darby.  It topped the Billboard chart, remaining number one for five weeks.

Enjoy Vi playing the tune with embellishments on his "Fiddle Tune a Day" YouTube feed.

Arranging "The Ash Grove"

Although "The Ash Grove" is taught by Linda Thomas, in this lesson Steve Eulberg takes us deeper into techniques for arranging. First Steve plays through the tune, to familiarize us with the melody.

Steve also teaches another lesson on techniques for arranging he calls "Tweaking Twinkles," with several variations for Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

DULCIMER CLUBS PAGE

We have added a Dulcimer CLUBS Page to our website (see the 3rd tab from the right at the top). Our vision is to provide as complete a list of dulcimer clubs as possible. But we need a LOT of help to fill in all the blanks with up-to-date information. If your club is not listed, or if the contact information is missing, just click here to fill out our information form with all the details we need to include yours on the map.

EXPLANATION OF BASIC VS. PREMIUM MEMBERSHIPS
