6. Deck The Halls

7. Jingle Bells

8. Joy To The World

9. Oh Come All Ye Faithful

10. We Wish You a Merry Christmas

OBTW...Wendy called to report triumph in fixing her electronic tuner. She has a whole roll of black electrical tape, and is willing to take on any repairs involving non-functioning wires that you might have. We are certainly a multi-faceted group are we not??

Lynn is making the club house available to us for a Sunday night gathering. Mayilyn has emailed good directions to all. We look forward to meeting the new players, and learning how to play some chords so that we can "back up" a singer or instrument carrying the melody line.

Sally will be sending off our order for capos so please bring your money on Sunday eve if you have not already paid her. She figures with shipping they should run around $7.50 unless you are ordering one of the larger ones. We do not know how much more those will be yet.

Any of you observant enough to notice something special about the first image in this post? The peg box on this dulcimer has SIX tuning machines. The sound of six strings is, as you might imagine, much louder than the sound of three strings.
