Oh, yes, Sorry Malcolm!! I also forgot Stephen Foster. Most all of his are pretty easy and very well known. Also, check out American Civil War songs.

I know a banjo player in Wyoming who knows hundreds of tunes. While on vacation he met a banjo player from Arkansas who also knew hundreds of tunes. They had 3 tunes in common.

Of course, the Wyoming one plays tenor banjo tuned like a guitar with a plectrum. The Arkansas one plays open back mountain banjo frailing style.
