Anyone got suggestions for songs where accompanying in open D sounds good.
I've done a few Joni Mitchell and adapted some James Taylor, Tom Paxton, and a few other traditional folk songs like Water is Wide. Any suggestions welcome.
Got these from instruction DVDs:

Fahey, Poor Boy Long Ways from Home
Grossman, Sitting on Top of the World

Both fun.
