  16. Well this has been a great game!!! Thanks to everyone who contribute to make it such a blast. It was fun to go back and take a look at some choices. This game moves so quickly it can be so easy to forget. First, a real quick re-cap on the few simple rules: * each album has 12 songs; you are allowed only ONE contribution per album * you must pick a song that has been officially released. A "bootleg" recording of an unreleased song is not eligible here. * whoever finishes one theme gets to also set and start the next theme. And so on.... * previous themes may be repeated but the previous picks must be located and re-posted so that no songs duplicate themselves between different volumes. It is up to whoever sets the theme to clarify any ambiguities about it, so long as none of the basic rules above are compromised. Be sure to make sure you are editing correctly and not missing anyone's choices. Cool? Now take a look at our mammoth list of themes. I have used some markings for page numbers so these can be found, but please note that my jambands set-up is set for 40 topics per page, which I believe is the default setting. You can adjust this under your personal options folder. 1. Songs about Cars 2. Drinking songs 3. Songs about Death 4. Songs about lakes 5. Songs about astronomical phenomena [Page 3] 6.
