Thinking of recording... Tune suggestions?

Thinking of recording... Tune suggestions?

I've been asked to make a CD & I have some things in mind, but I wanted to bounce it off thesession.org for some more ideas.

Just to give you a general outline of what I'm going to do; it's going to be solo fiddle with piano, guitar or zouk (not at the same time) backing.

A few tunes that I'm pretty much sure I'm going to do are:
Col Frazer's
Sweeny's Dream/Merry Harrier's/Ballinasloe Fair
The Grey Goose/Tell Her I Am
Forget Me Not/Bunch of Keys
& a few others

So, what tunes would you folks suggest, any favs?
There's some pretty warty clips of my shtuff here

(just look through for the fiddle vids)

thanks
brad

The Mediator Stage is a music series that I help with. It's mostly community based but we've had a few Irish concerts.

I was thinking of the Queen of May, I forgot about the Providence - but that's def going to make it on. Jennie's Welcome is too hard for me, I should work on that one.
