I totally understand the feeling that the real world is falling short of beloved books worlds -- especially such worlds as Anne of Green Gables or Little House on the Prairie. I actually didn't read these books as a child -- I was more interested in Harry Potter and Nancy Drew. I came to them as an adult during lockdown and found such a fount of coziness and comfort that I feel like I almost have reverse nostalgia for the time in my childhood when I would have read them. The Anne books in particular bring me so much comfort I listen to them every night to fall asleep. I loved this song and the idea of a woman wedding herself to the land she worships!

Isabelle, I’m so glad you discovered these older childhood books during lockdown. I started listening to Anne of Green Gables again last week because you reminded me of that book!

I've loved this song ever since I first heard it, Jeni! xxx

HI Robin! I am so happy to hear that. It seems like a song that would respond well to the dulcimer. I've just sent out a download of the song to paid subscribers, so that should be arriving in your inbox. That way you can save it and play along if you wish. Lots of smiles to you! Jeni

Yes, it would go well with mountain dulcimer and voice! I'm not sure how it came to be yet I already have the file of Ohio and have listened to it several times. <3 Thanks, Jeni!
