I am doing a live concert at the Ark in Ann Arbor this July of all audience singing that I plan to record for my next CD. I turn to this amazing community for song suggestions. What songs have really worked for you at community sings? I have a batch that I rely on, but I would love to hear from you. |
25 May 15 - 12:23 PM (#3711686) Subject: RE: Community Sing Songs From: Stewart Here's my songbook I use for community sings. And an article I recently wrote - Bring Back America Singing. I will soon start a new community sing in Seattle - Sat. June 13, noon-1pm, at Couth Buzzard Books in the Greenwood neighborhood. We will encourage participants to also bring their own songs, and eventually add a new collection of songs. You can download a pdf version of my songbook here.
