The Playing the Mountain Dulcimer Made Easy Series of books has brought great pleasure to me and many dulcimer students. Beginning in Volume One much emphasis was placed on the basics, continuing in Volume II less prominence on the fundamentals allowed extra space for more songs. Now Volume III . . . includes many of my favorite traditional and gospel songs, again in both DAA and DAD tunings. With dulcimer players just like you in mind, it is my hope that you will realize many hours of enjoyment playing the songs in Volume III. Thank you for joining the untold number of dulcimer players and students reviving this grand old instrument. The mountain or lap dulcimer is currently in the midst of renewed interest with dulcimer players of all ages. This powerful, sweet and simplistic instrument can, will and does bring with it enjoyment beyond measure. Thanks again, Jeff
