Thread Name: First Songs You Performed
Subject: RE: First Songs You Performed
Assuming we discount pantomine, it would have been something with the second violins in the school orchestra.

First thing I sang at a folk club was "Mountains of Mourne". I did two songs, I can't remember what the second one was, but it could have been "Sea Fever". I do remember that I'd forgotten to put a strap on the guitar, so I stood up with my foot up on a chair and the guitar on my knee - I was too nervous to sit down on the chair and readjust the mic. That was about 5 years back (being as I'm younger than some others here :-)

Unfortunately we (me, my wife and a friend of ours) played some stuff ("48 Years" and "I just want to make love to you") at another folk club shortly afterwards which was recorded, so our miserable performance is captured for all time on a CDR. I can't bear to throw it away, but I keep it hidden bcos I also can't bear for anyone to listen to it. :-)

Graham.
