Looking to build up the list of tunes I know and want to get your opinion of the 5 most COMMON tunes you run into during a jam session, not necessarily your 5 most favorite tunes. (Though you can list those separately !)
Any thoughts appreciated.

salt creek
nine pound hammer
one of those bluegrass/pike county/shenendoah breakdown ones
whiskey before breakfast
mountain girls

St. Annes Reel

Old Joe Clark
Then for the other top 5 that are done all the time http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Blackberry Blossom
Salt Creek
Soldiers Joy
Billy Cheatham
John Henry Blues
If you want sing songs I'm not the right guy to talk to. There are 10 or sp of those as well to work up a break on.
Things like:

etc.....
Cheers,
