Hi John
I don't really like doing that but as I don't have anything I'll give it a go.
If you could tell me what key they are in that would be a bonus.Deep Breath.

Red River Valley
I Love You Because
Amazing Grace
Danny Boy

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thank you.

try karaoke backing tracks. I use Ameritz, but there's plenty of others.
I have an acoustic version of danny boy, not sure to the key, but you're welcome to it.

I do that a lot with Spotify - I record them to .mp3 with Audacity - excellent free recording software, available on CNet, Sourceforge etc.
