With 300 songs and a failing memory I often find that in a singaround I realise that a song I have not sung in public for 20 years will just fit with the flow of the circle and then - assuming I can find it in my book which now serves as backup memory - I find I am singing a song that other people also suddenly remember or I see that it is something new for at least one or two. I am often asked to write out words or give a source.

I do smile when I am asked who recorded it, or what disc it is on.

I seem doomed to hear songs only live - this pc is inhabited by a malevolent spirit which blocks internet access to such things - or it might be the DH, who does not like my music and singing.

I can't use it to watch DVDs either, as it will play the background music but not the dialogue.
