Gifts or curses, depending.

In that vein...

'If I Could Only Remember My Name' by David Crosby



We were riding back to have ourselves a party
to celebrate the robbing of the train

Hmmm...I guess I am influenced by my 102-year mother who is gifted with a very sharp memory. She is the bank one goes to retrieve people and happenings.

I have a terrible memory. Wow! I just remember that I have tapes of tabla/sitar music of Indians who lived in Queens, New York. Those guys use to play for hours. Now, where did I put those tapes?

In the meantime.
Hum Dono: Joe Harriot & Amancio D'Silva Quartet.
Indian/Jazz fusion.

I remember endless stuff, most random, triggered by some association or other. Couldn't get an old commercial jingle out of my head yesterday. Meaningful stuff like you go to your mother for is more elusive.

I wonder if Nora Jones has ever worked on any sort of 'fusion' like that.

Depending on the remember's perception, that is. I'm seeing mine as gifts.

I'm experiencing some math torture now. Not knowing why I just walked into a room is fun too. Just standing there though for a moment or two seems to help. Probably because it's a short term memory that's still trying to catch up with me. And a friend who is further along than I told me this memory game just keeps getting better.

Thanks to my Magic Triangle LP journey, I've been receiving many gifts. One was actually real, a pencil sketch done by my brother on Deodato's Prelude's inside the gatefold photo back in the summer of 79 that I saw the other day for the first time. My brother is memory now.
