<p>I don't know if this will work or not but it's an idea that I have used when I'm going to play some place. </p>
<p>I put songs/tunes into this form & send it to myself in email so I can play along, one click at a time.</p>
<p>Even if not playing along, it's a way of getting the tunes in my head. </p>

<p>The good thing about those long songs with multiple verses is the ability to pass it around in a group...let a lot of folk take a verse.</p>
<p>Old Tar River is good for that too.</p>

<p>Add <strong>Rose of Alabama</strong> and <strong>Old Johnny Boker</strong> back in and it's a great 'standards' list of 15- and yes include <em>lyrics</em> for some of these <span style="text-decoration: underline;">songs</span>. (and I'd think we would omit or edit any offensive N word verses) Having some lyrics sheets around would enable others to sing if they couldn't play the tunes yet...or spouses singing.</p>

<p>It's one thing to have just a <em>list</em> of frequently played tunes from AEBG, which is indeed helpful to many kinds of folks. But who really needs the Tabs?- tabs are most important to beginners. By the time a player is ready to tackle some of the more tricky tunes, they may not need tabs as much, or more likely <em>they have already collected various tabs and books on their own.</em> So maybe a shorter list of the 15 most commonly played and 'accessible' tunes for beginners and new…</p>
