Okay, I am not a Filker, by any stretch of the imagination, so you will
probably want to ignore me.  But why do you feel you must have any "standards"
in your repetoire?  What is wrong with doing your own stuff?  If someone didn't
create songs long ago, there wouldn't be any "standards."
I deleted them, but the reason I answered your message is, I have never heard
_any_ of the songs you listed.  So, what makes them standards as opposed to
others?
