Hello If this will be done digitally, any advice on how to print and compile large sections of the book neatly? I try to avoid jamming or group singing with screens. I struggle to focus on back-lit things, and a lot of people see notifications or other such distracting things when looking at a phone or laptop, so I would probably end up printing songs out to use them. Also, I would love to see - With a Hip, Hip, Hip and a Holler, - Fare Thee Well, Enniskillen, - The Holmfirth Anthem (or Abroad for Pleasure, I don't know which is the proper title) - and the other John Barleycorn (that goes 'hey, John Barleycorn/ho John Barleycorn/old and young, thy praise is sung, John Barleycorn') because I think that version is not in either of the previous books. I also like the presence in the other books of political songs like Bella Ciao, the Diggers Anthem, and Solidarity Forever (which I have lots of fond memories of singing with friends). If people are not opposed, I think it would be good to add others that are fun to sing with company, like - A Las Barricadas, - The Red Flag (hopefully sung to the tune of the White Cockade and not the dreary Tanenbaum version), - and Ami, Go Home (not sure if that one is actually a popular folk song or just a song appropriated by a few weird folks to belt loudly). Thank you for doing this, by the way, I know these sort of compilation books get a mixed reception, but as someone young who has not heard even a small slice of what is out there yet, they are a great jumping off point. - Gratefully, Teef
