This is my third Mel Bay book and for it's song value it is perhaps the best for any ukulele player. It is the best bank for the buck because there are 16 total Irish Dance Tunes and all but one are played on the high four strings of a guitar. So they would work for any Low G ukulele or Low D tuned baritone ukulele.
These books are a great value because the come with (3) CD's that play each song masterfully and then break down the song to into "bite-sized" segments. Eric Thompson is the instructor and he always has comments on how to get the most out of a tune.
Tunes: Sligo Maid, Bright Star of Munster, Fulham Broadway, Gallagher's Frolics, Tommy McCarthy's Jig, Untitled Reel, Pigeon on the Gate, Sweets of May, The Wise Maid, (The Pipe on the Hob [not Bari]), Apples in Winter, Sean Sa Ceo, The Moincoin Jig, The Traveler, The Old Customs House, The Choice Wife.
Some Non-Bari Examples:
