I find ballads interesting. Most of them record something that didn’t turn out well, and still there is something about it that lights the imagination. I listened to this one by Harry Chapin a lot. As an adult I wonder why, and still I listen to the whole thing.
When I was in 5th grade we were given an assignment to memorize a poem and present it with a background of some kind of music or sound track. So I chose the one below and just like the video, I when outside and recorded the blowing winds of Montana. Mine was not nearly as professional, and still I memorized every single word.
I have forgotten many things over the years, and this is not one of them. I can still recite it word for word. I still really like the odd story. I guess it’s mine to carry.
Funny the things we hold on to.
I would sure like to hear you recite that! I memorized the first 30 lines of the Iliad once, but it sure did not stay with me for long. I was never any good at memorization, which used to annoy my teachers.
It takes me a long time to memorize, but once I get it, it’s stuck!
Hah, it took me a while to memorize my married name, but not as long as it took to learn how to pronounce it.
Yes I am like you Bee, something you can remember every word, others not. Interesting
The brain is very complicated.
Yeah, also remember some pieces of music regardless of anything, quite interesting phenomenon.
If I put things to music typically I recall them better.
