I have to record a few tracks to send to a record company, but I can’t think of what songs I should sing. Granted, none of you have ever heard me sing, but I was hoping that you could name off a few songs so that I can pick from that list which ones bring out my talent the best. Also, do you think I should _cover_ songs for the demo, or should I just sing my own songs? Suggestions would be much appreciated. ---

Seriously Silver, what kind of range do you have, it would make it easier to pick songs for ya. ---

I want to do _Amazing Grace_, but that seems way too typical. I’ll probably do it anyway though. And then I’ll take a couple of my own songs. So it’s all taken care of, thanks for the suggestions. ---

Always take prescribed medication in prescribed doses. Otherwise, you might wind up making bizzare threats on immortal threads. Anyone that acually was waiting for the script to A Clockwork Orange, go to script-o-rama. That’s where I was going to get it from, I think. Its a bit hazy. Sorry to trouble you! Bye! ---
