Some nice possibilities in Irish music too, all the better because it 
enables very nifty "key"-changes in medleys without having to switch harps.  
A few that work on a low D harp, which means that you're ostensibly playing 
in the key of G (at least that's what you tell the guitar man), are Cronin's 
Hornpipe, Gillan's Apples and The Turnip Jig (Paudy Scully's Slide).  You 
can play Dirty Old Town in 12th too.
