Thread Name: Folk Artists - Wise up (or Fade away)!
Subject: RE: Folk Artists - Wise up (or Fade away)!
As part of the wee group I'm in is that, they ask me what the next verse is or next line, mind you I don't use a songbook, in other words I can remeber their songs because they sing them all the time, but me I only try a sing the one song once and then move on unless I get a request which I often do.

So I must be doing something right, I can remember their songs but I find it diifecult to remember my own.

I'm like big Davy, he's the same he can help other people out to remember verses however he can't remember his own stuff, or maybe he's like me need that songbook as a guide, what I do is have the song book in front of me and if I see the first line then away I go, however at the Golf hotel there are times when I can't even see the book, but as soon as I start a verse then it all comes back to me, it like a comforter the songbook, it's like these people that must have their mobile phones with them that goes to the toilet.

So you see I really don't need the words at all, it's just nice to have them in front of you just to promt you like an autoque for the news.
