The songs I was thinking about doing was Pour Me by Trick Pony, The Sweetest Thing by Juice Newton and Whiskey If You Were A Woman by Highway 101. I chose the last one. There were about 10 other gals. The men were judged separately. To my spouse, children, or guardian. Upon my demise it is requested that you DO NOT dispose of any of my Genealogical records, books, files, notebooks or computer programs for a period of two years. During this time period, please attempt to find one or more persons who would be willing to take custody of the said materials and the responsibility of maintaining and continuing the family histories. In the event you do not find anyone to accept these materials, please contact the genealogical organizations that I have been a member of to determine if they will accept some parts or all of my genealogical materials. Please remember that my genealogical endeavors consumed a great deal of time, travel, and money. Therefore please do not ignore my requests.
