   The Oral Tradition in Poetry   
   "...Oral tradition and oral lore is cultural material and tradition   
   transmitted orally from one generation to another.The messages or testimony   
   are verbally transmitted in speech or song and may take the form, for   
   example, of folktales, sayings, ballads, songs, or chants. In this way, it   
   is possible for a society to transmit oral history, oral literature, oral   
   law and other knowledges across generations without a writing system." (from   
   Wikipedia)   
   Talk about the oral tradition of poetry!   
   I just went in to my files, archives, and so on, to find a lyric post for   
   "Under The Radar" for the Shadowville All-Stars to study up on for the   
   Hogbottom show, and to place chord tabs to... and find that I've never   
   written down the actual words of the song as we perform it.
