Dear Patrish:

I have no specific songs to suggest to you but would just encourage you to keep at it. The first time I tried to sing in public I crashed and burned big time (oh, alright, not just the first time). As with anything else, you get better at it the more you do it!

And bless those people who encourage someone who's faltering to keep going. In San Francisco, on the first saturday of every month, there is a Shanty Sing aboard one of the historic ships at Hyde Street Pier. One evening a young girl in the audience started to sing and then faltered, forgetting her words. Someone else in the crowd, who knew the song well, started to take over. He was immediately stopped by several of the regular singers who then encouraged the young lady to continue her song. All she needed was a reminder of the next verse.

Just keep working at it, Patrish, soon you'll find yourself singing with the best of them.

Regards,
radriano
