mostly Linda Lowe Thompson's arrangements in her Christmas book.
- "To Drive the Cold Winter Away", mostly Linda Lowe Thompson's
arrangement, which I think will appear in her next Christmas book.
This tune was published in DPN a couple years ago for mountain
dulcimer, but I thought the chords listed were much inferior to
Linda's.
- I also like to play a medley of "Away In A Manger" in two or three
of the commonly used tunes for that song, and then finish with a
neat Mexican lullaby, "A La Rorro Niño", that Cathy Barton Para
taught us at a Sawdust Festival workshop in Bennington, OK, IIRC. I
usually change keys between G and D through the medley.

Can't say I have a very discerning audience. They like it all.
