I have a distant memory of being carried from a time when I was only one or two (I think) so it is a little memory snippet, but as I get older, it seems less and less real.

It is an odd sensation.

I can’t remember your name 10 seconds after you tell it to me. Even if you tell me 3 times in the first meeting I’ll probably forget it as you walk away.

But I remember nearly every song and artist/group having a hit song from the mid 50’s to the mid 70’s (and a few into the 80’s) along with the record label it was released on. And usually can tell you the year - if not exactly - usually no more than one year off.

Of course, that stuff is fascinating to me, so I’m always listening and reading and learning so it sticks with me. Your name? I probably won’t ever meet you again and my brain knows it. Poof! It’s gone. If we become friends or regular acquaintances I will eventually learn. I am more likely to remember the car you drive or your pet’s name than yours though, LOL.
