Margaret Wright's 12-Tune Song Books.  I learned on them, I love them, they are actually a crutch to me~LOL!  I NEED MORE FROM HER!!!  :)

Jan, if you don't have Anne Lough's Celtic Treasures or Joe Collin's Simply Celtic, and you love Celtic, then yes, by all means, get those books! They are both fantastic!!

Hmm...I'm currently at Dulcimer U at Western Carolina University with Larry Conger, Ann Lough, and Joe Collins.....maybe I'd better take another look in the vendors' area!

Julie! I am in Larry's book RIGHT this second, haha! Have you played Bridget Cruise. I'm getting obsessed with this tune. I'll look into Bill 's book too!

Ken, haha, maybe one day! I am amazed at folks who can play by ear and memorize so well. Waaay out of my league! I have Sue's book but haven't gotten much into it YET. It looks amazing.

Sue Carpenters 'Patterns and Patchwork' up until I started using a tablet which contains books, smn, and audio files.

Tab books?  Never use 'em.  I have lyrics pages for maybe 30 songs that I play frequently at Open Mics, and at the top I have tab for the opening bars of the song.  I just don't play from tab.

I'm finding I just can't seem to put down Joe Collin's Simply Celtic book and Anne Lough's Celtic Treasures. They stay out and I'll stop what I'm doing to go over and just play one song...or two...or three...or ...

What tab books are your most tattered from use? It's always good to hear about some wonderful books!
