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.

also because it’s the internet and I can.
