New to banjo

So, yesterday I received my first banjo, a John Peterson fretless.

Let me append in here that this is not my first instrument.  I am a music major with double bass being my major instrument (so I know how to handle fretless).  I also play flute, piano, harmonica, trumpet, and mandolin.  Therefore, I am not worried about the theory at all, nor am I worried too much about left hand technique until I get the right hand down.

Right now I'm practicing the basic clawhammer motion.  I cannot afford lessons (poor college student), so I am learning from video I shot while I was at Merlefest.  Anyway, once I get the muscle memory down, what would y'all recommend for a starting tuning and a couple of songs to start out on?
