94955, I know you write your own material, but there's one song you should cover

I think it would be great to hear you do Inez Cheatham's part in a cover of Eddie Bo's "Lover And A Friend". There are a lot of similarities, and that's one song that would be as valid today as it was 40 years. It would be cool to hear you sing "I'll stand on the corner just like you, fight all my battles just like you, and try... and try... to satisfy you", because when I first got the 45, I thought "it's kinda Badu-ish".

Go all out, release it as a limited edition 45, have it available only at shows or through Okayplayer or something.

I throw out loads of ideas in this place, at least someone should go for one. Otherwise I may have to step my game up in the new year and do it myself.
