Back to Singing

Some suggestions we've gotten on things to do going forward:

 

* Urge people to be nice to other folks using the plaza, and designate a liaison.
* Keep instruments in sync w/ leader. 
* Urge leaders to follow the booklets.
* Have someone call out what line/verse is coming up next. 
* Mix stand-by songs in with our own stuff.
* Sing more verses and fewer songs. 
* Make a web page or fb page.
* Publish recordings.



Songs from last time that we expect to do this Friday:


 This Little Light of Mine 
 We Shall Not Be Moved
 If I Had a Hammer
 Banks of Marble
 Hallelujah, I'm a Bum
 Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around
 We're Gonna Roll the Movement On
 MTA Charlie
 Hold On (Keep Your Eyes on the Prize)
 John Ball
 Bring Out the Banners
 This Land Is Your Land

 


Songs from last time that we may not do this Friday:


 I Don't Want Your Millions, Mister
 Sixteen Tons
 The Man that Waters the Workers' Beer
 Mary Had a Little Lamb
 No More! (Song for the Occupations)

 

* One of the new songs is WALL STREET SIT DOWN - USA (original tune & idea: Maurice Sugar, new words Peggy Seeger). Here's a recording:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_XBtSTPpOsrYmQwZWVmMmMtNjhkNi00MDE1LWI0YzYtMWY1MmY4Y2ZmMDdk

* Another of the new songs is Rolling Home, by John Tams:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggLa5Tn3-5k
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul.thorp/lyrrhome.htm

* We may also try "You Gotta Go Down and Join the Sit-in", which should be both easier and more familiar.

* We could use a few more good, easy, familiar songs, but we want them to be both rousing and appropriate.
