Roger in Baltimore Who forgets their own songs? (72* d) RE: Who forgets their own songs? 13 Apr 07


Jim,

Long before I ever thought of writing a song, I saw Roger Miller forget the words to his current hit on the TV stage. Of course, with Roger it could have been the barbiturates. However, I have held that memory and realized I can forget even things learned by rote.

My most embarassing moment was singing at a festival and a crowd member called out a song title of a song I wrote. I had not performed it in years and had to admit that I couldn't get through the song so I couldn't start it.

It does amaze me still, that I am still singing some songs that I have sung for thirty years. You'd think I would have grown tired of them by now!
