Smiles,
It's best to hold off until you are very comfy.
I sang Big Head Todd's "Bittersweet" Last night in a competition and was very ready, I definately waited until I had the version I wanted, (which there are only 2 legal versions) and took a 2nd to an awesome singer from north of here and I know she could sing and also has been recording too. she deserved it. My hat's off to her. There were 14 singers last night.. all of them were really good singers, not a bad one there. Even the KJ has straightened out his act too. It was finally kewl for once. But it was great to see things are changing in New Mexico.
Maybe it's the Govenor? Naaaaaaaaaah!
