Thread Name: Rise Up Singing Book II: 'Rise Again'
Subject: RE: Rise Up Singing Book II
For community singing..maybe the old purple hectographed stuff..the old Mitch miller standards maybe..the old American/Canadian whatever songs..the songs they remember some or most of...it basically boils down to do what you want as a group or community..it is not up to any of us...but know that you will probably drive out the best singers in inverse proportion to the amount you use that book. You could pass out song sheets the week before and run through the tune a couple of tiems and say next week we are going to sing the lambing to the wool so see how many verses you can memorize..and do have someone lead it..this consensus stuff is only good when you are getting paid by the hour. mg
