[colomon]

Slight change from my earlier post:

Slow Road to East China / The Pink Ribbon Reel (set)
Kiss the Maid Behind the Barrel
Better Than Nothing, I Suppose
Kitty's Wedding (jig)

(This list is basically the list of tunes most likely to come out if I pick up a whistle and start playing without thinking about it; so in effect, the tunes I'm heavily practicing.)

The short version of the list of tunes to learn is "Jolly Tinker", "Lucy Campbell", "Duke of Leinster", "Roaring Mary", "O'Rourke's", and "Kitty's Wedding" (hornpipe). (Oddly enough I decided to learn both "Kitty's Weddings" last week independently, without knowing their names!) Maybe "The Rambler" as well.

Along with a bunch of others I can't remember right now.

Coast of Austria (assuming that's the correct title...)

Yes, that's it, by Sean Ryan. Great tune, there's a video clip on the Kerrywhistles site of McGoldrick playing it on a Gen bluetop, very nice.
