We may use a few from the last camp, but we’re thinking we want some new material for the next one. I plan on using your recommendations to come up with that list. We’d like to give folks several months to get these songs down before camp. That’s why I’m starting to work on it now.
What are your Top Ten song lessons?
OK, that’s what I was looking for. Thanks

Tax your thesaurus much?
In an assorted pattern
In a non-arrayed structure
In an unordered arrangement
In an uncategorized list
In a non-linear grouping
Or my personal favorite, in a non-sequential sequence.
Sometimes but not in this case…
Non-sequential sequence! coool!
no sequitur
You should have copyrighted it. Oh well.
Hmmm, what’s another word for Thesaurus?
lexicon?
Lonely-giant-ancient-reptile?
I thought so too… but you nicely described what I meant to say before!
It’s just one of those questions to ponder really. Kind of like - why is abbreviated such a long word?
Whiskey Before Breakfast
Over The Waterfall
No Power In The Water
Cherokee Shuffle
Grandfather’s Clock
East Tennessee Blues
Saint Anne’s Reel
Keep On The Sunny Side
Liberty
Soldier’s Joy
Hey Dawn! Welcome to the board!
Thanks for you list. You have some good ones in there.
I’d like to see @BanjoBen doing a lesson on On top of Old Smokey. It is a tune I have always loved from my childhood but as yet I have not figured out how to play it. It’s a good one for community singing
I grew up with a Disney version of this song. Same beat, same chords, but went more like…
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese.
I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed.
Yes my grandkids used to sing it to me.
I love this version too, Great Banjo arr.
