I'm a guitar player who just took up mandolin and was wondering what songs to learn so I can jam with other players at festivals (field picking). I'm working my way through Sam Bush's two-disc set which has tunes like Ragtime Annie, Bile Them Cabbage Down, Sally Goodin, Blackberry Blossom. Are these popular "standards" that folks play or too basic? What are the usuals that might comprise the top twelve or so jam tunes?
