    Depends on the genre. I still have trouble with Motown for 5 or 6 notes.

    That’s because the tunes from the good ol’ days are worth remembering. Nowadays it’s all cacophonous cacophony.

    Medicine Containers comment from yesterday: A church in town collects containers to send to a free clinic in Africa. It receives medicine donations but does not have the individual containers to give out the medicine to patients. All we have to do is remove the labels. Will try to find out more information. It is a win-win – recycling and providing medicine containers.

    A fun game I played with sons in the 90s was to identify the ‘original’ version of their favorite songs. [I thought it was fun — if I had to listen to their music, at least I could show them where it came from.] Of course many of the ‘oldies’ were much older than we thought. The House of the Rising Sun (big hit in the 60s) is thought to have originated in 16th century England. It was first recorded in the 20s and 30s. Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly recorded in the 40s. Glenn Yarborough, the Weavers, and Pete Seeger recorded it in the 50s. In 60 and 61, Joan Baez and Bob Dillon both chose it for their debut albums, respectively before the Animals switch the lyrics around in 64. (They credit Northumbrian singer Johnnie Handle whom they heard in Newcastle). Then came Frijid Pink, Jody Miller, Geordie, Deep Purple, Dolly Parton, Five Finger Death Punch (2013), and Alt-J (2017).

    There only a couple of songs from that era [50s and 60s] that have a the same opening notes. Most of the time I can immediately remember the name of the artist too. Sing along time.

    It worries me that I can remember every good song (and most of their lyrics) from the 50s _80s, but can’t remember where I left my phone.

    PJ’s & my regular Saturday dinner spot plays the 60s on I Heart Radio. Hardly a week goes by when one or the other of us says, “Wow, I hadn’t heard (or even thought of) that song in decades!”

    PJ also likes to tell about his niece’s wedding reception, where the DJ played “Bohemian Rhapsody” & the whole millennial crowd started singing along. They weren’t even born yet when that song hit!

    p.s. I can name “Hard Day’s Night” in one note…well, chord…

    Having had “Top 40s” when we were ‘50s and ’60s kids helps a lot with this song recognition. Having heard those songs waking, sleeping, doing homework, on car radios during dates…they were the wallpaper of our lives. And yes, long after all memory of the 21st century has passed from me, I’ll STILL know all those lyrics!
