How do you keep track of all that music?
Thank you! I've always been good at trivia. I think I just nail a memory onto something and it just stays put for eons. For instance, the show, "T. H. E. Cat" (do you remember tat one?), the title reminds me of the main character's name, and vice versa. T. H. E. was his initials, not just the word, "The". His name was, Thomas Hewitt Edward, cat. Cat comes from him being a professional cat burglar. If I remember correctly, the police hired him to help them every week by breaking into impossible to break into places to get info or evidence on someone they wanted to arrest.
Another fave show was, "I, Spy". One of my fave bits on that show was when they caught someone they wanted information out of and they had him standing in a bucket as they gradually plastered him from the bottom up with cement and said that they'd stop if he told them what they wanted to know! If he didn't talk, he'd become a statue!! Lol. I think they got about shoulder high before he talked. Now, I've only ever seen that ONCE, and that was way back in the mid `60's!! For some reason, that stuck with me, and I'm pretty sure that's the ONLY bit from that show that I actually remember!!
A decade or so ago, when my singer was still alive, he was also VERY much into all the stuff I was and had a nearly encyclopedic memory of this stuff!! Even though he remembered "The Outer Limits better than I did, because he was a few years older than me, I'm pretty sure that, after having seen all the episodes again in the early `80's, I was able to remember the title of every single episode!! Today, having been away from it for a while, I'm a bit rusty, but I could still rattle off most of them. I remember the stories more than the titles.
Having 51,000 records also helps to remember a lot of things.
By the way, the first album I ever bought with my own money was, "Through The Past, Darkly", by The Rolling Stones. I can't recall what my first single was.
Anyway, to remember stuff, you just have to associate it with something. If you're becoming forgetful, coconut oil will help you regain your memory. Cures alzheimers, too.
Gimme More!! Lol
