Hi everyone, this idea came out of our Friday night Zoom chat last evening. We'd like to give it a try as long as it's got general consensus.
So we all think Song Of The Month has lost some of its energy. It's an initiative that seems hard to keep running with great enthusiasm. Maybe it's a great idea, but maybe needs to be put on a shelf for a little while. Although it would be nice to still revisit some of the notable songs that get posted on the forum each month.
How about we trial something different. How about 'My Forum Faves - June' (or whichever month.)
Every month one of our members will step forward to be the guest host. It will be their job to pick out their five favourite songs from the month's postings. Their very own My Forum Faves of the Month. The guest host will write a few words on each song telling us why they liked each one and posting the link. Then they will pick out their single Fave Of The Month. Nobody needs to vote, but it would be nice if people commented in the thread, adding encouragement, abuse
discussion points if they feel the need.
I volunteered to start this off for the month of June as a trial. Then we can see if we like it and if it should replace SOTM altogether, or whether SOTM will come back after a bit of time off.
Anyhow, that's the idea...
