Thread Name: how many songs in your repertoire?
Subject: RE: how many songs in your repertoire?
If we're just counting songs where I know the melody and lyrics by heart, my repertoire's easily over 25,000. (There was a time I knew pretty much all verses of all the commonly sung hymns in the Baptist hymnals, plus quite a few not so common ones, in addition to pretty much everything I heard from about age 5 to age 10. But -- fortunately? -- time does dim some memories.) LOL
If we're talking about songs I can at least chord skillfully enough to perform them or jam with them, the list probably shrinks to somewhere between 500 and 1000. Of course, the 30 to 50 I've written are the hardest for me to remember if I haven't sung them recently. ;-D
But as has been said above, I'm not sure a lot of the songs in my repertoire are anything I'd wanna do in concert. LOL
