Thread Name: Secrets of a good singaround?
Subject: RE: Secrets of a good singaround?
It's a different one, Chris, I know CC & his repertoire well enough to say that with confidence. AMcB is a longer and (I should say) older song about recruiting. There is one version here.

CC runs a good show when called upon, but is just as happy to contribute to one run by someone else. That is the type of modesty that helps a good singaround to function. You are right, though, he did omit that one significant menu item.

I would just add that those who feel they must give an introduction really need to know their facts. A rambling introduction is bad enough, but when it gets the known origin, purpose, or title of the song wrong that is downright embarrassing.
