22nd July - Brothers and Sisters

The theme this month is songs made popular by groups that consisted of brothers and sisters. There is a huge list on Wiki here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sibling_groups The idea is you need to have a "brother or sister" to sing with you. So we should pick our songs, and then collaborate with another member of the group. It is relatively easy to send messages to group members through Meetup. If you get stuck, then I am happy to be a brother, and perhaps even a sister (I have a wig!!!), and I know that Pat and Hiromi are able to help. Perhaps the best way to approach getting a partner is to select a song or two, put them in the discussion here, and call for a brother or sister to help. As per last month, if you can find the song you have in mind on Jim's Songbook, that would be great. But I do have time to make new ones this month. https://ozbcoz.com/Songs/ Have your songs to me EARLY or risk missing out. If we fill the roster before then, it will be closed. Each group should be able to do two or three songs. We can have groups with 2, 3 or even four members.
