You might try the country fiddle tune Faded Love.  It's pretty simple on harp and most fiddle players can do it.

We have no music history together and am not sure what common ground we can stand on, but would be grateful to any list members who have insight into songs for fiddle harmonica duo. One traditional piece that comes to mind is Yew Piney Mountain. I heard a version of it on Grant Dermody's CD Crossing that River and really liked it. Other ideas anyone?
