  Wow! Thanks to all for those suggestions.   I'd rejected Andy 
Dejarlis, but oddly now that others have said it sounds good, when I go 
back and try it again it DOES fit fairly well. And it goes fairly well 
either before or after Calliope House.

 Skyeman's seems to fit fine but I haven't got the hang of the 
transition. And anyway my Cape Breton bias kicks in leads me toward the 
set all with the same root.

So the set I'm playing now consists of
Andy Dejarlis - Calliope House - Owney's Best. Those three seem to go 
together rather well in that order.

I couldn't make Jack's  Carfrae Frolic C#m jig work with any of 'em. 
(Or anything else for that matter!) But thanks for the suggestion

I'm looking for but haven't found yet Matt's suggestion of the 
Northumbrian jig, The Roman Wall, a version of The Eavesdropper.   Wish 
you'd learn abc (sigh!)   It's so handy for sharing simple tunes.  My 
search has just begun... but if anyone out there has the abc's, perhaps 
Nigel,  I'd enjoy it.

And Matt... Thanks for the chording suggestions. I'll try them on my 
guitar buddy.
