Subject: RE: BS: Ever steal a tune, accidentally??
I neglected to tell you the best part of the story. The performer was Tom O'Carroll (one of the Worlds greatest "nice guys"), and he offered to have me sing a couple. Well, I was three hours into a surprise party that went well and I knew I didn't have to drive home so the beers were flowing freely might I say.... Anyway, I start to sing this song that I had written 7 hours before and between the unfamiliarity and the Lagers, I had totally forgotten the melody and proceeded to make it up as I went along!! No one really knew, they just probably thought that it wasn't one of my best efforts!! thankfully, my wife has a great sense of humor and just laughed through the whole thing.... C'est la Vie....
