Songs, stories, and poems from the 10/11 May Mudcat Worldwide Singaround, probably in the order in which they were performed. Thanks to Mrrzy for roughly the first half of the list. Thanks to SPB for the other title for I Wish I was Single Again. Thanks to MoorleyMan for information on "Never Turning Back"/"Keep on Moving Forward" and on "The Roses of No Man's Land". I made up the names, "The Woman Who Couldn't Speak" and "The Words are Easy, but the Doing is Hard" for the stories Jane Nicholls told. Comments and corrections always welcome.
