I love music
I have a truly odd random and useless skill.
My own stupid human trick, if you will.
I can memorize song lyrics after listening to a song about 5 times.
Because I was born in 1973 I have an alarming amount of long-term memory taken up by music from
the 70s, 80s, and early 90s
a decent amount from the 50s and 60s
skip ahead to the 2010s (kids)
LOTS of songs from musicals
a fair amount of jazz because of high school choirs
Not rap, probably because I didn’t hear a lot of it as a kid.
I might know the lyrics and can place the year of an album and the position of almost any song in the song order, but I don’t always know the history or meaning of the music I have memorized.
So I decided to start this blog to talk about the music I love AND do some research about it to share.
