Thank you Timbrel for the Plea: heading.
OK folks, how about some songs that those with a small (real or perceived) range can lead at a song circle? It is a reality that beginners are worried (amongst other things) that they can reach the notes at both extremes of a particualr song.
Hints for where to start could also help here. After all my years of screwing up Happy Birthday I learned that the first note is the lowest note in the song. What a valuable piece of information.
