Max very kindly sent a link to a video taken in 2013 with us playing together and me forgetting words. Thanks Max!
Oh my word, I remember it now
Nine whole years ago
I looked so young, I still had hair
And still couldn’t remember the words
Memories lost, buried deep
Come rising up again
The room was packed, well I’d like to think so
With people having fun
The joy of song, before a live crowd
Before the streaming days had begun
Music how it was meant to be
No auto tune in sight
Mistakes which cannot be fixed in the mix
Somehow it felt so right
Memories strong, pushed away
Come rising through again
Oh my word, I remember it now
Nine whole years ago
I was so young, I still had hair
And still couldn’t remember the words

Wonderful! (I had not seen the footage myself since 2009. It was a mod.file somewhere in my archives. I had to convert it to MP4 first this morning.)Yes, we were young and how much fun it is to see your reaction immediately in a song. Brilliant. Nostalgia in optima forma!

Wow. As you sing, we have all been there -- a memory is a terrible thing to lose! I especially liked these lyrics: "The joy of song, before a live crowd; Before the streaming days had begun." How poignant and how sorely missed. Nice song.
