[Dixielandjazz] remembering the lyrics

[Cebuisle2 at aol.com]

Larry's recent post on his singing reminded me of my own inabilty to  
remember all the lyrics to tunes. I too seldom listen to the vocals in  recorded 
music.
 
Used to have a tenor sax man originally from the Bronx who could sing  every 
tune ever written, or at least he was never stumped when a  request came from 
the dance floor. He was of Italian origin, and could do  the lyrics in either 
English, or switch easily to Italian! Used to amaze  the heck out of me ! 
 
Read somewhere that Ol Satch couldn't always remember the lyrics either,  
which led him to scat his way through many a song.
