Since we all have instant access to everything under the sun, mistaken lyrics aren’t as common as before. But I’m sure we all have had those funny moments when we learned we’ve been singing the wrong lyrics for years. I sometimes use these anecdotes as fun openers for songs. Here are two fun ones that I’ll share. Let’s hear yours. 1. I never understood why Neil Diamond was being so harsh to senior ladies. In Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show, why does he say, Pack up the babies and CRABBY old ladies?” 🤔🤓😂 2. On a road trip singing along to Elvis’ Greatest Hits and belting out Return To Sender, my friend’s wife says, “She wrote upon it. That’s how it goes? I thought it was She wore a bonnet!” 🙄😆😆

What's a song you absolutely LOVE, but would NEVER play at a gig? Maybe it doesn't suit your voice, it's too obscure, goes on for nine minutes, has 14 chord changes before the first chorus, or you already know the audience would stare at you like you'd just started reading from the electricity bill. We all have songs we'd love to play if audiences weren't involved. What's yours, and why doesn't it make the setlist?

Hi all. Thom the MiddleAgeMusician here. Currently in Italy but heading back to the USA in a few days. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and interacting. Be safe and well.

Ok guys, we are pretty good at sharing our experience and knowledge, how about sharing a bit of our performances. It might be a bit daunting, but would be great to see you in action. I have done a few Youtube videos and shorts just for fun so I will stick my head above the parapet and be first to share something. Please be kind 😂. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw3S76JI-u4

Who's the NIGHTMARE musician you've had to work with? No names obviously. We don't need the Pro Muso community appearing as Exhibit A in a defamation case. 😂 I'm talking about the bandmate who was ALWAYS late. The singer who somehow never learned the lyrics. The guitarist whose amp needed its own postcode. The drummer who considered 120 BPM more of a suggestion than an actual tempo. Or maybe someone who was an absolutely brilliant musician but such a pain in the arse that you'd rather play three hours of Brown Eyed Girl alone than share a stage with them again. Most of us who've been doing this long enough have worked with at least ONE. What's your nightmare musician story?
