I've got an old memory that sticks in my mind, and it envolves Mudcatter favorite Don Firth, and meself!

Don, do you remember that evening, in 1959, at Eagleson Hall in Seattle's "U" district, when you and I were giving a concert? We were just working up some duets and we were trying out "The Mermaid" for just about the first time. On the chorus, you sang that strong melody line, with your strong voice, while I sang a higher harmony. When it came my time to sing a verse, the only thing that came out of my pea brain was the harmony melody. So there I was, singing a strong verse with a VERY WEAK harmony melody.

You looked at me, I looked at you, and I silently said something like: &(*^&*%$%^&* ... and kept on singing. That's one of my re-curring nightmares! Bob(deckman)Nelson
