I am hoping to have a few post-covid gatherings at my Grand Rapids, MN cabin and this is one of my winter projects to get ready. So - please give suggestions. Lots of suggestions! |

I often have to figure out chords on my own or from on-line research. This might be nice if it works. |

Here are a few good camp fire songs that never end. I'll add more, they used to call me the human jukebox back in my prime. I could probably play close to 100 songs by the campfire on the guitar. However, the quality of my playing and singing could have been in question. Leaving on a Jet Plane, and Take me home country roads, John Denver. The Gambler, Kenny Rogers. How about this classic "She'll be coming around the Mountain" is a classic. Anyone can play this song and add any lyrics into the music as they see fit. "She'll paddling round the river when she comes" She'll be paddling round the river when she comes. She'll be paddling round the river, when she sees those big white rapids. She'll be paddling round the river when she comes. |

Grandma L: "Thanks for the ideas! My list is growing already. I did some on-line research and found this site. Sing Along With Us The site says it will even change the key for you . I usually have to do my own transposing. This could be handy. Sounds like fun, brewing up a sing along. Here's another link to song list, I found it on The Acoustic Guitar Forum, one of the members has been cataloguing songs he's played since '97, has nearly 800 songs, leaning towards Folk, Classic Rock and Classic Country. It's pretty well done, downloadable in a couple of formats, he has also sometimes included links to YouTube videos of the songs being played. It's a nice resource, Songbook |

We could camp, sing, eat, sing, sleep, sing and burn up a ton of wood while sitting around the fire singing. We might even let a few non-musical types come along. |
