I think if you're going to count on doing well on Ourstage, you'll need a song that people have heard. But finding a JPF song that someone has heard wouldn't be supporting the regulars on the board as only a few of our board folks have written hit songs and those folks don't stop in that often. Alan O'Day and Dean Pitchford were two that I felt might please both sides (well known and at least active JPF members). That would give us a nice selection of songs just between the two of them.

There's also something to be said about doing a completely unknown but consistent cover song. But that might turn into a popularity contest of regulars and might not produce the best song.

So how would you all want to proceed.

I also thought of this: What if we made it a gigantic (and by that I mean 50-100 people in reality) by having a small committee of folks to pick a new song each month and then encourage any and all JPF members to participate? The surpise (and challenge) of what we next might be part of the fun and a smaller group would likely choose songs that would be challenging from different genres of music with results that might be more fun than anyone predicted.

Just an idea.
