and we are in the south.. so Classic Rock and light hearted, fast paced Country should go over fairly well.

Check out songs by a group called "The Capitol Steps" they're a bunch of ex hill members who write and perform parodies of real songs to the political things of the day (think a political version of Wierd Al Yankovic). They have a bunch of great tunes making fun of everyone from Bob Dole to Bill Clinton and others. I'm sure you can find some accoustic tunes with them.

i've got not considered one fighter of their best swifter than RJJ, for the reason that i've got been alive of direction. yet for genuine, can he be considered a HW? He had one combat at that weight, against John Ruiz, and that grew to become into it. Ali is the quickest Heavyweight who has ever lived IMO, it incredibly is undeniable, even though it incredibly is actual. to not point out he fought interior the golden age of the Heavyweight branch. What different person fought their finished profession at HW, and grew to become into as quickly as Ali? there have been another people who have been speedy, like Patterson or Tyson, yet they could not experience the aggregate velocity or organic quickness of Ali.
