Well here's the thing. This possum is a mere humble acolyte in the world of folk music but well...I do love and appreciate it if nothing else :)

A friend gave me a gift card to use to download songs and I am currently putting together a CD for myself of folk music. So I'm asking the mudcatters for recommendations for some songs to add to the CD and well hey...it can be a big list I might decide to fill up more than one CD. It's vaguely Scottish/Irish in flavor and I have some all-too standard songs but I'm looking for old favorites as well as ones you don't normally see popping up in " Proud To Be Irish " type compilations. I'm all for broadening my exposure to folk music ^_^ Well-done contemporary interpretations are as welcome as traditional.

Songs I have so far

Whiskey In The Jar
Old Maid In The Garrett
Beggars To God
The Rocky Road To Dublin
There Were Roses
Finnegan's Wake
Siuil, a Ruin
The Bonny Swans
The Legend of Tam-Lin
The Skye-Boat Song
She's Like The Swallow

thenk you...
