Aagh! The words "song circle" never crossed my lips. I *hate* song circles (except the good ones). What I'd like is a good crowd of singers (not people with the Blue Book of Death in their hands) able/willing/eager to lead songs, not necessarily bawling songs (quiet songs are good too, as long as they don't include modern quiet songs like the dreadful "The Last Leviathan" or any maudlin Stan Rogers song), but TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for each song; not moving in a circle or a sequence but as the spirit moves them. Good song circles do this, bad ones seem to come from the ninth circle of hell itself. I suppose that's what the liquor is for - to get people over their own fear of themselves (but not enough to make them falling down untuneful drunks). Let me emphasise that these are merely *my* preferences.
