It is my belief that everything that we feel and hear is stored in our brain; it may fade, but it does not leave. A book that I was reading stated that if you place an electric stimulus in the right spot in your brain it will remember what you had for breakfast on a Tuesday in May when I was 13 years old.

There was a time when a music stand was a no, no on the bandstand. Everything was memorized. Lyric came without thought; and my hands traveled to the next chord without thought. I became lazy; lost my trust so now I need to read the lyrics.

I live with my Ipad now and one of my jobs is to type lyrics and put them in the Ipad. I sit in front of my computer, bring up the song in PDF format and began to type. If someone was to ask me to sing the lyric to the song I was typing I would have to say no way. While typing an old song I looked up at the computer 2 or 3 times, to my surprise the lyrics just flowed out of me.

I said all this just to say it is all about our search engine; our ability find an recall’ the lyrics are still there. The names of the actors in the silver screen movies come the instant I see them. That’s strange because I never their names years ago. aaaaah!

I thought of trying to memorize all my lyrics again but I’m too busy trying to find the kitchen these days. (smile)

Life is good when we fill it with precious memories, John C.
