Our Song Circle relies pretty heavily on RUS, but they're receptive to people bringing in photocopied lyrics of other songs. As a former camp counselor, I come from the Camp Song Tradition and prefer songs you can sing in the dark - songs with simple choruses that are easy to learn, with a song leader singing the verses. I don't feel comfortable relying on a book so heavily, but that's what we do. I do like the equalizing effect the book has, however. We go around the circle, and each person gets to pick a song for the group to sing. We have 30-40 people in our Sacramento Song Circle, and we sing a wide variety of songs. We get into the more serious stuff later in the evening, when it's just a core of die-hards left. Our circle in the nearby college town of Davis has a bit more James Taylor and Beatles at times; and at other timces, chanteys and madrigals. In Auburn in the mountains on the other side of Sacramento, the music is closer to traditional folk music. I have to say that I'm glad we have Rise Up singing as our "hymnal." It has served us well. And with that, I have another suggestion: the exquisite "Where or When," by Rodgers & Hart. -Joe Offer-
