"Love's Old Sweet Songs"
A book of music notation and tablature for the diatonic
dulcimer, tuned 1-3-5. The book contains songs from the
Golden Era of American music (late 1800's through 1919).
All songs are in public domain for unrestricted use. In
addition to the arrangements themselves, instructional
information is included about how to tune to DF#A, where
to find musical scales, all about common chord patterns
and where the different chords are located. Each music
selection has a sheet describing its history and special
features, plus hints for playing. It is spiral-bound to
lie flat, with attractive, reinforced covers, front and
back. Most songs are illustrated.

You've done a great job and I really like the

"Your book is going to open a whole new world for most
of us. I've looked at songs like these many times and
wished that there were some way to play them on the
dulcimer. Now you have shown us the way!"
