A few years ago, there was a performer who came to a club we went to who was really excellent at delivering comic poetry, timing , everything spot on!

He decided to become a singer, and went out and bought himself a top of the range Martin before he'd even learned a chord.

He got up to perform and announced that he was going to do the Mick Ryan song "The Man that I did Kill". Those of you who know the song will realise that it is quite long, but such a good song that you don't notice the length when done by a reasonable performer.

He accompanied himself with one chord per syllable, completely ignoring any time signature, having switched on his video camera to record himself performing.

About three quarters way through the song, he forgot the words and siad:-

"Oh, I'll have to start again!" He did this and began all over again.

At least it makes a good story to tell.
