Suggestions from Ashton Bailey
(These are basically where Ashton and I disagreed. Since I hold the power [insert evil
laugh here!] and this site is a dictatorship, the choruses you see above are my versions.
The following are Ashton's suggestions. Play both and see which one you like better.
Power to the people! - Jason)
