Re: SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE FSOTM

I like the challenge months. I'd like to suggest a challenge theme that uses the first song each of us learned to play. That way, they should all be relatively easy songs to learn and we may get more participation.

Re: SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE FSOTM

Songs from a particular year? ie Pick 2 songs from 1957 ... Google will give you a list of songs from any particular year ...

Re: SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE FSOTM

Using a random 4 letters, pick a song /artist with 4 of these letters in it.  5his link will do it for us https://randomwordgenerator.com/single-letter.php

This will indeed make it more interesting.   I just said 4 randomly also. Lolol.

Re: SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE FSOTM

May has Mothers day in Australia (not sure if it's the same day around the world), so for May - "songs about/for Mothers"?
