Wow - it feels like a parade around here! After going through this book, looking for inspiration for this description, I'm singing the songs and practically marching around the workshop!

Shelley has outdone herself with this awesome collection of tunes. For starters, she's included 15 (I thought a "baker's dozen" was 13) arrangements of service songs (Army, Navy, Air force, etc.), old-school patriotic (Irving Berlin, George M. Cohan, and more) and traditional American "feel good" songs (America, Battle Hymn Of The Republic, to name a few). Her arrangements are very accessible, all in DAD tuning.

No capos required. Five of the arrangements use the 1+ fret. And they're all songs you should know, and be able to play, on your mountain dulcimer.

This book is published by Folkcraft® Instruments, under the Fingers Of Steel® imprint.

Have fun with this book!

Shelley's Books #11, #3, #11

I now have all her books, I ordered her other books for our group, so we all have the same. The simplicity of her books make it nice for advanced and some beginner players. Hyms for 2 is great, a much fuller sound ,

Great Books

Shelley is a great dulcimer player and a superior arranger of tunes. Her books are perfect examples of this. I'm glad to have them.

Honky Tonk and Ragtime

I was very excited to get a Shelley Steven tab book on sale. I bought 3 copies for my small group of players as Christmas gifts because I knew one player had an interest in this type of tune. This tab is clearly not for the new beginning player however. I’m struggling with these tunes myself.

Kick Out the Jams

Another book from Shelley Stevens' Baker's Dozen series, "#12 Jam Tunes and Beyond" includes a number of familiar numbers and a handful of new ones for me, such as Billy in the Low Ground, June Apple and Ragtime Annie. The latter one seems like a tune that missed the cut from her "#10 Ragtime and Honkytonk" book. If Folkcraft offers the other nine books from the series at the same discounted price, I would probably get them--ideally if all were offered at once to save on shipping.
