The first song I ever sang in public was Lonely/Lonesome Traveller. I picked that song to learn because - I like it, & I wanted a song could get through despite the total panic I knew I would be in, as it wouldn't matter too much if I did the verses in the wrong order or missed one out.

Now I have a go with a guitar as well I must put some chords to it. I have a tendency to pick mostly totally-bloody-miserable songs, so an up-beat song could come in handy.
