Let The Echo Ride Free: A Song History
"Let The Echo Ride Free" is seventh among the fourteen pieces listed for DulciFlute 3, a John Keane and Karen Keane songbook of duets for Native American flute and mountain dulcimer, published by Fingers Of Steel.[1] According to the listing, the dulcimer is tuned DAD and the flute is one pitched in B minor, and the download includes the complete 26-page book, individual PDFs of the tunes, and 28 MP3 recordings of the pieces.[1] The listing does not say who composed this piece, or whether the book's tunes are originals.[1] Their DulcimerDownloads artist pages place the Keanes in Shreveport, Louisiana, note that both earned music education degrees at Northeast Louisiana University (now the University of Louisiana-Monroe), and call them active composers whose books and CDs of original music for dulcimer and Native American flute number several.[2][3]
