Thread Name: tips for memorizing songs?
Subject: RE: tips for memorizing songs?
Most everything I learned, both chorus and verse and prose before age 30 adhere like barnacles
within my brain, unto this day.

Close to 2,000 plus songs and tunes.
Whole recitations and monologues from plays...100 plus:
Bible verse beyond mention.


Songs came natural, first or second and immediate recall.
They stick like rubber and glue on pigeon wings.

HOWEVER,
A 20 minute monologue took    3 to four hours, hard concentrated pratice.
Exactly along the instructions of meself within this thread.



Tom Twist
White Owl
John Tetzel (indulgence vender in play Luther some of the audience wanted to give me money)
Cremation of Sam McGee (still requested by folk that have not seen me for 30years)
Shooting of Dangerous Dan McGree (both versions one including "pinched his poke).
Hundreds More

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
