Songs in the Time of Corona: make it count!

For Friday May 8th, 2020 at 4 pm EDT, in the Songs in the Time of Corona series, consider that we are always counting and tracking the number of days in the lock down, the number of cases, the number of deaths, and questioning the accuracy of the data.

WHAT TO WEAR? A top with a number on it, of course.

Here are some suggestions to fuel your creativity in coming up with your own 20-second handwash song or parody.

The bolded titles refer to song sheets that can easily be transposed, thanks to Jim Carey’s generous effort in making his website http://www.ozbcoz.com available to all. We can change the key (transpose), change the layout with respect to line spacing, font size and format, edit the lyrics, add and customise chords, and even save your default preferences.
