We're proud to bring you this Shelley Stevens' "Baker's Dozen" book. This is Volume 4 in the series, and it is full of traditional Shaker melodies. You probably don't know many of these tunes, but you should - they're important to our musical traditions, and likely had a significant influence on later pieces that you do know.

All songs are in DAD tuning, and a surprising number of them are in E minor (capo 1). Each piece includes both standard notation and dulcimer tablature.

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

17 pages.

Come Dance And Sing - Shaker Song From 1838 - DAD Tuning

From the Hills of Connemara to the Cliffs of Doneen

I likely won't get all of them, but "Baker's Dozen #1 Celtic Music" by Shelley Stevens is my third Baker's Dozen book. Two jigs in the book qualify as covering the cost of admission: Swallow Tail Jig and Black Nag, which is double jig. Both require using a capo on the first fret, but no other songs need one. Many of the tunes require strumming brightly and are quite lively. I was even able to create a pleasing medley by combining the book's The Sally Gardens with a version of Sally in the Garden.

BAKER'S DOZEN #13 PATRIOTIC

My dulcimer group bought this book for playing at veteran homes. Great collection and nice to be able to take one book and go

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.
