Adding to the dulcimer repertoire. Contains POLL!

[kniteracy]

I'm trying to add some more songs with the mountain dulcimer to my repertoire. Songs that I have done in the past with this instrument include The Shirt of Lace, (assuming I can find the chords) and The Scarlet Tide, which I first heard in the film Cold Mountain.

So, I'm trying to figure out which one (or two, or three, or half-dozen) songs I should work on next with the dulcimer.

And so, here's a poll!

Big Rock Candy Mountain is a lot more appealing before one actually listens to the words, and I'm not familiar with any of the others. Pick something you like and for which you have a good answer to the question "why are you playing this particular song on the dulcimer rather than on the harp that you're so awesome with?"

Sometimes, people just want to branch out, sweetie. I'll probably write an entire post explaining "why dulcimer" because of my reaction to this comment.
