Hey all,
Back when I took lessons, about 10 years ago, my teacher would play a song for me and ask how I liked it and then would tab it out for me and then I'd give it a try. I'd leave and work on that song for next weeks lesson. We'd work on chords some too with him on the guitar. We never did work on any songs where the mandolin was the, or could be, the main instrument with vocals with it. Not that I can sing, I can't, but it would be kinda fun to learn some bluegrass and traditional songs that don't need another instrument and have lyrics with them.
So, the only songs I know are songs that need other instruments and have no vocals. I'd like to ask you guys and gals to help me in learning some songs that I can play on the mando and sing along with them alone. Just something to make learning a bit more interesting. The first one I want to learn is WayFaring Stranger by Monroe, his version that he sings by himself on the video on Youtube where Marty Stuart intro's him.

I love that song, I don't know why, I just do.
By the way, if you all know more gospel songs that I can learn and sing, that would be extra AWESOME...
Please add as many as you know.
Thank you for your help and time.
