In preparation for our first gathering, I’ve been keeping an ear open for song ideas. Once we get together and get comfortable, of course, we can all have a say in choosing what we’ll sing. Figured it might be good to at least have an initial list of ideas so we don’t sit around staring at the floor wondering what to do next. Also, maybe this way we can have some lyrics and chords handy in case anybody needs them.

What would he on your list of songs to share and sing? Hit me by email and let me know.

Anyway, here’s my list, such as it is so far. I’ll try to put links to lyrics, chords or tabs and maybe some recordings or videos of these as I find them.
