Jerry's primary objective in recording this album was to have fun making old familiar tunes sound new, but not so different as to be unrecognizable. The result is a fun collection familiar enough to be relaxing, yet unconventional enough to make you really notice what you're listening to. There are new levels of complexity to discover every time you listen to it. It's also an excellent tool for introducing young ears to some of the most important pieces in the American folk repertoire.

"Favorite American Folktunes has the right stuff to please both connoisseurs of fine mountain dulcimer playing and the general publichis mastery of technique and imagination makes these old favorites even more beautiful. There is tenderness, humor, imagination, and graceful improvisation in the playing." --Lois Hornbostel, Cherokee, NC; performer, teacher, author and recording artist
