    This rendition is a little strange with clown costume et al. Many years ago when my parents were vacationing in the Appalachians, they purchased a four-string dulcimer for me. I have tried playing it on and off. So, here is an older gentleman playing Black Sabbath's "Crazy Train" on an electric dulcimer.

    also, you might enjoy Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer" https://youtu.be/GYlA2WcZ2mE by the same artist.

    Interesting, and though I generally can't stand the acoustic "unplugged" versions of Rock tunes (not even my fave J-Rock band Tears of Tragedy's "&" disc,) they do the song justice with some quality playing and singing.

    Coincidentally, just last week I watched a bio-doc on Randy Rhoads on Amazon Prime (recommended, if you're a fan) - well right up to the plane crash, where I had to shut it off - and the mind boggles at what more the man would have done had he lived a full life.

    Good take on the clown face. With his enunciation the lyrics were clear
    And seem some what fitting for today

    All aboard Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
    Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
    Crazy, but that's how it goes
    Millions of people living as foes
    Maybe it's not too late
    To learn how to love
    And forget how to hate
    Mental wounds not healing
    Life's a bitter shame
    I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
    I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
    Let's go
    I've listened to preachers
    I've listened to fools
    I've watched all the dropouts
    Who make their own rules
    One person conditioned to rule and control
    The media sells it, and you live the role
    Mental wounds still screaming
    Driving me insane
    I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
    I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
    I know that things are going wrong for me
    You gotta listen to my words, yeah
    Heirs of a cold war
    That's what we've become
    Inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb
    Crazy, I just cannot bear
    I'm living with something that just isn't fair
    Mental wounds not healing
    Who and what's to blame?
    I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
    I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
    The ledge, ha-ha, the edge

    I spent an hour reviewing his works.
    He draws attention to the art by slowing things down. Vocal/emotional timbre is awesome. I think I heard one note "flatted" .... perhaps intentional, it would have fit.
    The clown facade entreats an anticipation of an event. And then he delivers....the event.
