Rise Up Singing
Song Counts By Section
I had some time and decided to look through Rise Up Singing and
count how many songs I knew in each section. I had some
hypotheses: "Men" would have one of the lowest ratios; "Sea" one
of the highest. But I wasn't really sure. So I go and tally.
Critereon: could I lead it at a folksing?
