Thread Name: memory loss and the aging vocalist
Subject: RE: memory loss and the aging vocalist
I've always relied on the words written on the ceiling. Have you noticed when we forget the words of a song, we tend to look upwards towards the ceiling. Probably in the hope that the words will magically appear, as if projected from our mind onto a spot just above our heads. I have witnessed this action many times at folk nights or performances and have adopted the process myself. But it seems my projector is not plugged in, the words do not appear and I'm back to supplying a musical interlude until the old memory drags back at least one more verse to get me through to the end of the song.
