McGrath - gets me that way too! The only songs that I wrote that I can remember are rude or a parody, and even then I frequently have to resort to singing the original through first!

TerriM - maybe all those pints of Baileys are starting to catch up with you......!

Of course, if you write all your songs in one book, PLEASE make sure you have a copy somewhere else - my book which oddly enough, was on its way down to see TerriM with us, got stolen from our car (along with every stitch of clothing we weren't wearing, and the baby's nappy bag - hope they liked the real stinker that was in it, waiting for a bin!!) and I lost all my songs. It has taken me 3 years to get about 2/3rds of them back and there are some that I wrote that are gone for ever.... bastards.....

I now have them in my diary, on disk and on hard drive, soon I'll have a hard copy in another file as well. Paranoid I is!!

Luckily, I find that writing them out six or seven times gets them into my head, as I can picture the page when I close my eyes, but as TerriM will tell you, I always have the book there as well.... talk about belt and braces!
