umm
I happen to LIKE most of our songs. Even after 20 I find uses for almost
all of them. There are 2 or 3 that I have yet to use but I can think of
situations that they might be useful (though rare).
If every song was "awesome" We'd never know what to play. And I've NEVER
had a problem getting my songs to stick (except Lullaby)
