Suggested Jam Songs

Hi,
If you are looking for new songs to learn and introduce into the jam, please take a look at the list and give some of these songs a try. Or perhaps you may want to reintroduce into the jam some of the songs that used to be played regularly at the jam (I've included some of these on the list) but no longer are because the person who used to sing them no longer comes to the jam, or at least - like myself - doesn't come to it very often.
 
If you don't sing (or even if you do), but you can't help thinking that 'oh, that song would be perfect for so and so to sing', you might wish to draw the person's attention to that song and see if they would be interested in learning to sing and play it. Also, some of the songs on the list might lead you think of additional songs that would be just as well suited for bringing to the intermediate jam in the near future as the songs that are on the list.
