Question: I would like to create a display to list all of our songs of the week this year. It needs to be something I can easily (and quickly) add to each week and something kind of pretty or interesting since it will be up all year.
Footprints around the room with titles on them? A caterpillar made of circles that I keep adding circles to? A huge tree with titles on the leaves? (I hate drawing trees...they always look like sad melted licorice) Any ideas?
Answer: Being a complete and total railfan, I can't help suggesting a train. Start with a locomotive and caboose, then add a freight car with the song of the week on it in between. All you have to do is move the caboose to the end each time. (Of course, you could leave the caboose off and it would be perfectly accurate these days, but not as much fun....)
