Wow.... that's quite an impressive song list. Back in the day, there were a few musicians in our town who had such a list. One guy in particular, a so-so guitar player..... name an obscure song and this guy knew the key, could play it, and knew every word without referring to a cheat sheet. The other guy..... I played in a band with him for a while and he'd have a few favorites that we always played but he'd pull out stuff I'd never heard on every single gig. That was one of those tuxedo wearing bands playing country clubs and ritzy events. I wasn't in that band for very long. Just not a good fit.

Yeah... sadly, the bands I have had the privilege of being a part of, and the musicians in those bands..... very few are still left. The tuxedo guy, he's long gone. The band I was in that was a full time band, I'm the only one left. The last band I was in, as a house gig for 2.5 years, 3 of the 6 members are gone. No one gets out alive, but I'm thankful my time hasn't come due yet. I just want to outlive my dogs so they don't feel like I abandoned them.
