ancient1 , she said the same thing- I replied, repetition- and all my songs are hand written on paper-

Hand written on paper! Wow! Now that's old school. I love it.

ancient1, I don't bring a guitar anywhere unless I'm also bringing a song binder. Cuz ya, I can't remember squat either!

I have 6 songs I can do without "lyrics & chords" sheets:

Dust in the Wind
Nights in White Satin
Wish You Were Here
Wonderful Tonight
Lyin' Eyes
Leaving on a Jetplane

FloridaGull, Funny you should mention those 6 six songs, cuz one of them I almost have memorized. Not on purpose actually, but ya. The only reason I say "almost" is cuz for some reason, I still sometimes forget or get the second line -- green field, cold steel rail -- mixed up. But I almost got that one. Maybe I should just practice it a weeeee bit more.

am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

FloridaGull, TonyKgull, I always memorize the songs I play- after I transcribe them by hand- the only ones I have trouble with, (at the moment)is, It Gets Easier (Willie Nelson) and a new one I wrote, Somethin More Than A Memory- I have trouble remembering the 3rd verse of It Gets Easier (for some reason it just hasn't sunk in)and the one I wrote I forget the chord progression of the chorus

I took a list with me so I wouldn't repeat me self (there is 14 songs on it that I do from memory)- the cheat sheet was for It Gets Easier, I did Somethin More Than A memory flawlessly-
