Stevepetergal and VegasGeorge, I couldn't agree more about fading memory but wait! It gets worse as you climb into your golden years. I especially hate it when I learn something well, and then two days later I can only stumble through it. ld:
Well, I'm almost 70 right now. When do those "golden years" start?
Actually, memory problems are not confined to the elderly. I took piano lessons when I was in about the third grade. My teacher sponsored one of those stupid piano recitals to show off all her hard word to the parents. My "concert piece" was "On Top Of Old Smokey." I practiced, and practiced, and practiced that darn piece until I could play it with my eyes closed. I was sure I was going to ace it at the recital. The day before the recital, I sat down at the piano and couldn't even remember how it started. I had forgotten the whole thing, completely. It was gone, gone, gone. I tried to relearn it for the recital the next day, but didn't have much luck. I'm afraid my performance wasn't too good.
