Thread Name: Forgetting your own songs
Subject: RE: Forgetting your own songs
Having grown up in a family where folk song parties were common, I was always puzzled when some of the more ancient people, people over fifty, would forget lines to songs they'd been singing for years. We youngsters knew all their songs, backwards and forwards, and would happily chirp out the missing lyrics.

I think I've grown up too much, for now the same thing is happening to me, being ambushed by songs I considered my old friends! There's no justice in this world!
