It is maddening some times. Trying to tune it out when someone says a key word or phrase in a meeting and a song like Toni Fisher “The big hurt” from 1959 pops into my head. I was only 5 years old. These were am radio days. How do I remember even the lyrics to this song with all the songs that followed in my life. The weird thing was, I understood the meaning of the lyrics. I used to freak my parents out. This is the URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlE6eHEENg4 to that song. Got to go for tonight. Have a great evening.

We oughta talk some time. My wife and I just got back from a road trip down to Yosemite, about 2500 miles with nothing but “50s 0n 5” and “60s on 6” playing on Sirius. I don’t believe they played more than half a dozen songs I didn’t know the lyrics to. Plus a lot of stuff about who wrote the song, names of group members, little bits of trivia. I don’t know no trigger-nometry or what a gerund is or what I had for lunch yesterday but I know oldies but goodies. Not bragging. I’m no idiot savant, just an idiot.
