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!

Love _Beggars to God_ and _Everything Possible_, like _Big Rock Candy Mountain_. Gotta go google... there's a song stuck in my head, but I can only hear snippets... Not _Mothers, Daughters, Wives_ by Judy Small, although that's a good one... Or _1000 Candles, 1000 Cranes_ by Small Potatoes. Ah well, I can't find the song in my brain. And I don't know how the dulcimer would sound on either of the ones I did mention.

I'm not familiar with the songs you've mentioned, but I'll presume they're worth digging for, and dig. :)

I don't see lyrics on the web for candles/cranes -- but there's a 2 minute clip on http://cdbaby.com/cd/smallpotatoes00 Lyrics for MDW are at http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/folk-song-lyrics/Mothers_Daughter_Wives.htm
