Yeah, I remember the Eagleson Hall concert, but I can't say I remember the verse sung on the harmony line. All of which goes to prove, I guess, that if you accidentally drop your pants in front of the audience and go right ahead as if that's what you intended, you might just get away with it!

I pulled a doozy one evening singing at the Corroboree in 1963. I was about to sing The Flying Dutchman. I went into this long and elaborate introduction (folk singer:    someone who spends twenty minutes introducing a three minute song), talking about the myth of the Flying Dutchman and it's many variations, even talking some about Wagner's opera, Der Fliegenede Hollander, based on a version of the flying Dutchman myth. I yammered on endlessly!

Then, I launched into the guitar intro, opened my mouth, and totally blanked out on the words!!! Zip! Nada! Nothin'!!

Fortunately, the audience was friendly, and they thought it was pretty funny! They let me live!
