Minstrel Banjo

For enthusiasts of early banjo

So I am a beginner and am wondering what are some good tunes that are easy to play and learn to get started? I can already play Mary Blane, Old Dan Tucker, and Dandy Jim from the Brigg's instructor.

Calabash Dance is about as easy as it gets.  Also Juba.  Cotton Pod Walkaround is a good practice tune, as is Jonny Booker in any of its variations.  Old Joe is great and simple in the High Bass tuning.

Thanks
