How do you eat an elephant?

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I've been experimenting with this method lately with learning a new song (which does get harder as one is about to turn 50), working on one verse a day, and practicing the same song 5 or 6 times a day for a month until it becomes an organic part of you.BTW, this is a great test for deciding if the song is a keeper, because at the end of month, if you still want to sing the song, you really must love it :-) Nothing wrong with singing from a piece of paper, of course, but their is something to say about communicating a song when a piece of paper if not between you and the people you're with......
