Use a crutch continuously and the leg you are taking the weight off of will eventually weaken. I suspect the same holds true for the memory. If you don't use it, you lose it. You said it, Joe: RUS proved to be "a good way to LEARN a song to teach to others." (emphasis mine) My happiest times have been sharing these songs with "the uninitiated" and watching them learn to love them as I do. All those great songs you rarely do these days because they have become "old hat" are suddenly fresh again. Yeah, songs like "Careless Love." Remember, they're the ones that drew us to this music in the first place.
