So, I spend hours helping direct traffic at a vax site. It is boring. So I sing to keep my mind occupied. What I am looking for are ideas for *series* of songs, so I don't have to think so hard about what song to sing next.

I am not looking for individual songs that contain series, like Green grow the Rushes-O, or songs that mention many colors or all the seasons etc. Been there, sung those.

I have already sung songs that mention:

Each day of the week
Each month of the year
Each cardinal points
Each season
Weather (fog rain snow etc)
Holidays, starting withone mentioning New Year's Day and going thru New Year's Eve
Each color, all the shades I could think of [fuchsia, anyone?]
All the versions I know of songs I know lots of versions of (hope that makes sense)
Songs whose titles start with each letter of the alphabet
Songs whose first word starts with each letter ditto

So. Any other ideas? I still have months to go, probably.

Not each number and going to infinity. I like to do different series!

Thank you all!

One song from each Pete Seeger album? That should hold you for a while. Then you can start on Ewan MacColl, Joan Baez, ....

Well, I sure like Almost Every Circumstance, which covers all the days of the week and all the seasons of the year.

Months of the Year Songs is a good source, too.

Ooh Gerry now *that* is an idea!

I have done the alphabet thing within genres, as in Children's songs starting with A, B, C. But I did not think of *artists* ooh good thought.

Some letters miggt be hard to fill...

Yeah, Joe, but I done did the months of the year.

And the Elements song, while great, is a single song.

Others?

I think I'd be inclined to Earle for 'E'.

And Sandy Denny for 'D', leaving one Robert Zimmerman for 'Z'.

Try to plan a route across the US rail network with a song covering every stretch of line.

I did run through all the train songs I know, but a geographical approach would have been interesting. Most of course aretrain *wreck* songs but I did the nonwreck ones separately...

Songs about US Presidents, in order, from Washington to Biden. Then, Vice Presidents. Secretaries of State. Speakers of the House.
