Thread Name: Songs You Can't Sing for Crying
Subject: RE: Songs You Can't Sing for Crying
For me it is Tommy Sands -There Were Roses
Just can't seem to be able to sing it, though I love the song.
Sometimes songs of lost sailors an fishermen will do it also, though I love to sing the Jeannie C

For years, Fred had trouble with Scarborough Settler's Lament. I once saw him lose it completely in concert. After he recorded it on our "Looking Home" album, he was more able to perform it. Still a powerful experience.

Strange how some songs push buttons you didn't realize you had
