Well I never could so I guess it doesn't matter what I did to mine. :)

We will probably do more pop material now.  We haven't done much because nobody 
could sing them.  It's hard finding a good singer anymore.  Most in our age 
group have given it up, those that haven't want to work full time, and we don't 
want to gig that much.  Everybody has real jobs and it just doesn't work out.
