Old Time gospel and working on some Steven Foster stuff. I guess 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus' and 'Hard Times' by Foster are my current favorites. 'Rosin The Beau' is another I like to play and several Civil War era songs such as 'Tramp, Tramp, Tramp', 'Battle Cry Of Freedom' and 'Marching Through Georgia'.

While we are on the subject I have been wondering about 'Tramp, Tramp, Tramp'. The tune is the same as 'Jesus Loves The Little Children', which was written first? I think that JLTLC was written after the turn of the century but haven't been able to find for sure. I have been working these tunes on both the banjo and also trying them on the lap dulcimer
