Our monthly open-sing usually starts with "This Land is Your Land" and Bill Stains' "River" before going around the circle and each one present takes a turn picking the next, be it a song or a story. Sometimes we throw in "Camptown Races" or "City of New Orleans" as additional warm-ups if the group isn't too large.

RUS is a crutch some in our circle use and I would'nt take a crutch from someone who needed it. It is funny, though a bit sad, to watch so many people with their heads buried in a book when we could be looking at each other.
