Valentine’s Day gets all the love (appropriately, perhaps), but February also brings us Family Day. Send in your favourite songs about family or from famous musical families.
There were lots of great suggestions at the last circle, but please send an email or leave a note in the Facebook group so they don’t get missed.

Happy New Year!
Whether you’re a homebody or whether you’ve got the travel bug, it’s time to pack a suitcase and hit the road. All our new songs are about travelling.
Here are a few other travel songs from our collection:

When the weather gets cold, many people like to travel somewhere a little bit warmer. For those of us left behind, let’s sing a few travelling songs.
Send me your favourite travelling songs and we’ll add them to the ones that are already in the song book:

I’ve lined up four frigid songs for the next circle. Thank you, Barbara, Grace and Lana, for the suggestions.
After the circle, everyone is invited to warm up with a hot apple cider or a plate of their award-winning fries at the Bushwakker.

It’s cold, but it’s a dry cold. We can’t fight it, so we may as well embrace the sub-zero temperatures.
Freeze-Frame, Cold as Ice, Colder Than You … what other icy cold songs are out there?
And, because Christmas is around the corner, we’ll dive into our holiday favourites after the break.

Here’s the second round of gibberish songs; great for those of us who struggle to remember the words.
Nathan sent in a bonus song!
And I found a few more from our song book.

So may great song suggestions! We may have to do “Say what? Part 2” to fit them all in. These are the five new songs for October:
(Hooked on a Feeling is actually by B.J. Thomas, but we’ll do the “Ooga-Chaka” version popularized by Blue Swede.)
We also have these songs in our repertoire:
A special thank you to Rick, Barbara, Linda, Angie, Keith and Kristy for the suggestions!

October’s circle is devoted to “non-lexical vocables” or those nonsense words that sneak into some songs.
We already have a few songs in our library, like “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” and “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah“, but send me your favourite musical gobbledegook.
And in case you’re interested in nonsense lyrics, my favourite language podcast, The Allusionist, has an episode all about this.
