Hmm... very interesting. Might be worth trying out...

So... for those of you that might be interested in a DA or Eddies songbook, which songs would you pick if you had to narrow it down to ten songs per band?

It might be worthwhile to do a "best of" collection first and see how well they do it.. then if it works well, we could always do more later. We might even just start with a single song to see how it goes.

Also - which would you rather have.. the Guitar chord chart (less expensive)? Or the Note for Note guitar tab (more expensive)?

If you go cheap, feel free to pass the savings along to the consumer
I think any 10 songs would be awesome, within reason, definitely DA/TST or LD's, rather than the "less accessible" SE stuff (no offense meant, I guess I'm just thinking if we're going to be "performing" this, whether for family/friends or an assembling of some kind, the more audience friendly stuff likely makes sense). I don't know how the whole thng would be done, but I sometimes wish that when chords like AGflatminor6th are used that someone would throw in a "picture" so we'd know what that means, I mean, the standard stuff is easy to look up, but otherwise, I'm pretty much mush. Anyone have a good site that interprets those "weird" chord names?

No SE stuff? I say the book would be incomplete without The Twist and Holy, Holy, Holy.

Some others:
Grace Is The Smell of Rain
Broken Ladders To Glory
You Lay Down
Sanctuary
Joel
My Beautiful Martyr
Walls of Doubt
Ghost of the Heart
Wood Between the Worlds
Writer's Block
One More Time
Light Princess
Hell Oh
A Humble Man Rises
Pyro Sets A Wildfire

I publish pretty cool chord book on ebay. If any of you guys want a copy, drop me an an email and I'll send it to you gratis. Any fretted instrument, any tuning you like, Right handed or left handed custome made chord book with every possible chord up to the 14th fret. I've got over a hundred, but don't have them all listed.
Here's a weird one.

Not a list of The Best Daniel Amos Songs Ever, but one's that might work well for this but aren't the most obvious (list of 20 semi-arbitrarily reduced to 10):

Soon
William
Walls of Doubt
She's All Heart
When the Moonlight Sleeps
I Will Return
Grace Is the Smell of Rain
Pregnant Pause
Song of Innocence
Changeless

If only one song by the Swirling Eddies is included:

What a World

What about a songbook from a particular album? Those are popular but generally sell better when the album is still in production.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too... could start with Lost Cabin or something like that so the guys could always take it on the road with them if it wasn't a huge seller.

Still deciding how to do it while we're looking into book printers.

  Darn Floor Big Bite

If we did albums I'd like to see an all out song book for Darn Floor Big Bite. Bass/keyboards/guitar solo the works.

Got me there, where are the good old days!? (that wasn't ccm charts was it? don't tell joey!) I guess I was envisioning church and arthur fhardy not going so well together, but some of these nouveau eddies songs are really probably pretty good ideas.

Yeah, "Hide the Beer the pastors here" charted (#1 I think)
on the CCM charts! How funny is that!

Driving in England was the first to chart.

Maybe CCM isn't dead afterall!

Maybe no!
