 I've found a cool website for dulcimer tablature. It's a group called "Jam N Folk". The web URL is : http://gulfweb.net:34043/~rlwalker/jamnfolk/jamnfolk.html There are many songs we do and some we should do. Please check it out when you have some spare time.

  Also, there's another really neat item you might want to check out. It's called the dulcimer hymnal. There's a website for them too at : www.thedulcimerhymnal.com It has the hymnal which you can order,a media section for videos and such, a blog, but best of all it has free sheet music!

   If there is anything any of y'all want added to this just email or call Jean and I and we'll make haste and put it on here.

Keep on "Frettin' On Faith" and God Bless, Michael
