Fox Valley Folklore Society has had a Wednesday night sung around for well over 40 years, so turning to Zoom happened pretty quick to keep that tradition going. It was grand to see folks I love and miss from Illinois there, as well as Phil Cooper with Susan zooming in from da UP.

Any of the other zoom sessions, I've heard about on Facebook, frequently with the zoom showing up in FB, with no participation besides comments. One ballad session "at the Mermaid" got zoombomed with obscenity - showing the impossibility of public announcements. Local online collaborative concerts had the same problem.

If you broaden it from singarounds to singing sessions, and sing-alongs, there have been some great times on Facebook from David Coffin, for the Revels organization with a Spring Sing, Hymn Sing, and Pub Sings, all with lyric sheets available ahead of time. Not only do you know what's on, but you've got a chance to learn new songs, as the recording of it stays up after the live session is over. Some folks from the Old Town School of Folk Music have been doing FB sing alongs as well.
