CTO … Enquiring Minds Need to Know, "What's in Marya's New Book!"

After my recent mid-week post appeared (Marya Katz Releases New Book of Hammered Dulcimer Arrangements) folks were asking - and I bet you're wondering … 61 tunes? What are they?!

Check This Out … The index of tunes from Marya Katz's newest compilation of tunes, Dulcimations VII, appears below. The book is full of (mostly) traditional jigs, reels, hornpipes, breakdowns, songs, marches, waltzes, etc - arranged in 2-parts for hammered dulcimer - with lots of interesting notes about the tunes.

The work has been done! Get your friends together and start playing!

PS … Look for Marya Katz at the Winston-Salem Dulcimer Festival . She'll be teaching the beginners, getting them off to a good start!
