Tony you made me think about this one. And I wanted to be accurate. Like everyone else, some songs fade with lack of use and other are fresh from practice and still others are simply unforgettable for me. I have played for 3 hrs non-stop on occasions. Of course, most my versions are camp fire versions and I can have a momentary black out any time or weather. I've also noticed that if I'm tired I can forget anything. I am reminded of an interview with Rex Harrison when he was over 80 where he was asked if he could remember the songs of My Fair Lady which he'd done on stage and in film a zillion times... he couldn't! So I'm sure I'm going to loose many of the ones I know some day. But you made me go back through my song book to check, with guitar in hand and I came up with the following. I know, I'm just a big show off, but you did ask!:
