I'l have to learn to type faster -- four people posted between me ad the post I was responding too.

When I was a little lad of around ... well, about 26,I dropped into the local student folk club, got up for a couple of songs, and forgot the first one just at the last verse. This was a shame, as it was a comic song, and now had no punchline. I made a witticism or two, then cracked on with the next song (which went accoding to plan, thank goodness). Later on, I was accosted by a youth in the gents (eek!), who went on at some length, bless him, about how great he though I'd been: a musician would have simply played on till it came back, but there was I, naked on the stage, cracking jokes and talking my way out of it. Since then I've never looked back (not in the gents,anyway!)
