Thread Name: Songs 'given' to others-silly practice?
Subject: RE: Songs 'given' to others-silly practice?
One of the "funny" moments at the Getaway:
Mick is off in a corner quietly working out the chords of the next song he is going to sing. He later gives Barry Finn a little (friendly) grief, at which Barry starts to sing Mick's song. Anyone close by knew what was going on and Barry only sang the first line...the look on Mick's face was priceless.

I am a rather shy, closet singer and am careful about not ruining a song someone else does well. I am also generous about sharing anything I have. But I did have an odd moment when I was approached by a woman who heard a song I sing and announced it suited her better. She wanted the lyrics and a recording from me so that she could use it. Implied was that I was not to sing it any more because it didn't "suit" me. Oh yeah - that's gonna happen. No lyrics; no recording; no further mention of it. Strange part is there are multiple recordings of it available. So maybe it was one she planned on adding to her collection and never got around to it. I was being warned off. So silly.
