Sweet Potatoes

This Creole folk song from the Louisiana Bayou makes for a beautiful partner song when paired with Mango Walk.

Phoebe

I love this song paired with a partner song composed by Denise Bacon.  The soaring octave jump in the partner song would be great for those vocalists who love to sing high and show off a beautiful voice.  It would also sound great played on instruments.

My Paddle

This song sounds lovely when it's paired with a partner song, as Denise Bacon does, or sung in a round.  It's also great for presenting the syncopated eighth-quarter-eighth (or "syncopa") rhythm.

Bye Bye Baby
