Looking for Stephen Foster music/suggestions

I have to play a Stephen Foster piece for a school project next month.
I'm looking for suggestions and/or music.

So if anyone has any advice/music/comments please post!

A lot of songs here: http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Foster,_Stephen

You might find that some of the selections have recordings attached to them.

Good luck.

For many years, I believed (had heard) that the melody of the old song Aura Lee (sic?) (which happens to be the melody that Elvis "borrowed" for Love Me Tender) was written by Stephen Foster. But recently I was told that it was a civil war tune written by an anonymous person. Does anyone here on TB know the real story?
