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.

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.
