Seeing as it looks like people are running out of songs for a lot of letters, rather than continuing with the alphabet after this cycle, maybe from now on we do like the word association topic and post a song somehow relating to the previous song in the topic?

As an example, George Michael, I Want Your Sex was the last posted song. The next one should somehow be related to that - another song by that artist, has a similar word in the title, same genre, same release year, was in the same movie/tv show, singer was also arrested in a toilet - could be anything, and I'm sure you can come up with more creative ideas of how to link songs.

I'm expecting this topic will probably quieten down completely anyway with footy restarting and COVID shut downs not being as much of an issue, but this might keep things going a bit longer.

Feel free to keep going with following the alphabet if you want too, just an idea.

A good idea!
They both cold run simultaneously.
I think 'letter' songs and 'word association topic' songs could run together without being too confusing, but I am in favour of a change.
The main purpose is a motivation to play good music :)

Number: One

"One Day at a Time" The Hawking Brothers
As a youngster, I wasn't into country music, but heard this band play live at a couple of pubs and I really liked their sound. The first time I saw a pedal steel guitar played.

The Hawking Brothers, were an Australian country music band, formed in 1955 and disbanded in 1985. They comprised brothers Russell and Alan. They went on to record a number of albums with RCA Records. When it comes to winning awards, The Hawking Brothers have been very successful, winning 6 Golden Guitars. The Hawking Brothers were inducted into the Australian Roll of Renown.
