Subject: Forgetting your own songs
Had a strange experience yesterday.

This young man came to see me. He'd phoned up beforehand and there was this casstte in is parents collection that I'd made twenty odd years ago - could I help him out with how o to play the guitar intro of one of my songs. I said , sure - come ad seeme.

When he got here - he'd done such a nice thing. He'd made the cassette up into a cd - made a jewel case cover from the old label. And a label.

So we put the cd on to listen to the track he wanted.

And do you know - I didn't have a bloody clue what the guy on the record was playing - or how he played it. It was a lousy song with fancy guitar playing - I don't think I ever played that song in public - so I'd never practised it - after getting it as good as I could for the recording sesssion.

I really couldn't help this chap - after he'd been so nice as well. Just had to apologse.....weird!
