I came across and purchased the Portland play along selection 2-CD set --  
it's actually intended for musicians, so they can "play along."  It  
contains 97 different widely-known contra tunes, mostly in sets of two or  three.  
They are identified by general type, i.e., "New England-Style and  Irish 
Jigs (4:03) Camp Pleasant Jig/ Sonny Brogan's/ Fair Jenny's Jig  or  "Southern 
reels, up-tempo (4:11) Jeff City/John Sharp's Hornpipe/Ducks on the  Pond.  
 
Since these are intended for learning, they are played at moderate  tempo.  
(And there's a list by Key and Meter at the back.)
 
Total time on 2 discs just under 72 minutes.  
 
I have the sound tech put this on for the beginner's lesson, as once  
started, it just moves smoothly along, and nothing needs to be cued up or  
skipped (waltzes, for instance).  
 
Order thru _www.theportlandcollection.com/songer at portcoll.com_ 
(http://www.theportlandcollection.com/songer@portcoll.com) ,  according to the liner 
notes.
