I've spent alot of time thinking about this since my last post to this thread due mostly to the thought that I am unable to recall quickly enough the elements of what I want to play/sing, sometimes. This lack of instant recall was also a problem in a former occupation that required me to be involved in (sometimes hostile)negotiations. It isn't always true that I can't recall, but often enough that I will stumble unexpectedly. Normally I would just blow this off but I've been watching my Dad degenerate mentally for a few years as a result of strokes and the way his mind works now is strange compared to his former mind, and I wonder if my recall troubles could be genetic. Dad used to remember everything he ever encountered, recite everything, sing everything, play instinctively, and had a very inventive mind, but in later years just couldn't find some things readily or quickly from his head even though those things were still there.

So when I can't exist without cheat sheets, well, maybe it's who I am as much as I what I am able to train myself to do. Nevertheless, I will keep trying...what was I talking about?

Peace, Mooh.
