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!

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.
