Thread Name: Remembering Long Songs for Performance
Subject: RE: Remembering Long Songs for Performance
i found a way to remember the Carter Family song "Give Me The Roses"
the 3 verses start with "wonderful" "folks" and "praises" and it came to me that I can recall W F and P by remembering the word Whiffenpoof,
so that is what i do...don't even remember where that word comes from...is it a Disney movie? Or a character in Lewis Carroll's Jaberwocky? i see it is a Yale singing group
