Hey Rog? Think you guys could sing "wipe out" instead,or sleepwalk? In anycase please do it in a# minor and modulate to L. If John sings it will probably sound like L anyway.

I've said it before and no Doubt I'll have to say it again before I die.
There are enough bad singers in this world without me adding any strength to their numbers.
But if thats what it takes to get a crowd at this next show, I'll let Joe Casey do it! [This message was edited by John Floyd on 20 March 2004 at 09:13 AM.] |

Donna, coincidentally enough, I stopped dancing the EXACT same day I stopped drinking----probably for the same reason.
I won't make this one, John Floyd has hurt my feelings 
Donna, these are for you  |
