These songs won't have you looking in your rearview mirror to see what type of emergency vehicle is rapidly heading your way. But listening to them may or may not cause you to crash your ship into the rocks, especially if you are an unwary sailor. Which might apply to some people. Maybe not. They're still good songs, though. So...enjoy! ~ JH
