Thread Name: Pruning One's Repertoire
Subject: RE: Pruning One's Repertoire
One of the few welcome aspects of the ageing process is that, while ou my forget what you had for breakfast, ou start remembering things you though you'd long forgotten
I can now sing my way though songs I haven't sung for nealy half a century - even ones I can't remember having learned
I had far too large a repertoire for various reasons - I pruned it many times
I knew 300 when we movd here - I've added 25 without having to sit down and learn one
Very odd and somehow disturbing, especially when I find myself singing crap pop songs about tooth brushes
