Lean On Me (Bill Withers) by John Thompson

Joint second in our song title challenge
 
Last Thursday...

We held our Song Title Challenge. This entailed showing our members' 50 entries that illustrated the various song titles given at the beginning of the challenge.

It was fascinating to hear the various and diverse comments of our members during the critique. Congratulations to overall winner Chris, and the joint second placers, John & Dave.

 
And huge thanks to all those members who entered their work
