@Victoria When you mentioned the duckies, the first thing that popped into my mind was something with evil duckies. So devils, Darth Vader, etc. Sounds like fun.

I did that with my menopause lenses…now to brainstorming to do this more often. Great pointers…thanks.

Pretty cool! I’m starting to go a similar route for my rubber ducky lens. It’s already looong, and there are lots of rubber duckies out there, so I created a separate ducky shop. However, since there’s a glut of devil duckies and other types of ducks, I might need to break it down even more… this kind of thing can get addicting.

I did one on “Your Song” so yes, there is a clash. Funny how hard it is to find those. I saw that someone had done Bohemian Rhapsody right after JustBon did hers, but they weren’t following Glen’s directions related to naming conventions, so it was easy to do. I think if his group ever gets fixed, it will be easier to keep track of what’s been done already.

I love Elton John and Tim McGraw.

Saw Elton John play at Notre Dame about 7 years ago. He did a solo show - just him and the piano - and 2 1/2 hours! it was amazing.

I saw Tim McGraw when he was just starting out in South Bend. He had “Don’t Take The Girl” in the charts. Also saw him several times more at Straitfest in Chicago at Soldier Field - before they tore it down and remodelled it. Had a skybox the second time around - it was awesome!

I created 1 Elton John lens - for “Your Song”. I couldn’t find a clash at the time, but I am sure there is. I rejected several other songs of his since there were already lenses. So many lyrics lenses, but so many great songs to still choose from as well. I am trying to pick something a little different, but still popular - otherwise it’s a waste of time.

Branchig out is a great idea - sometimes a topic just becomes too large in itself. It’s like writing a monster book with only 1 chapter. You just DON’T! Looking forward to seeing the new lenses…
