I want to explain more on how memory works. I will start an information thread. Having a reason to think positive helps. 

Interesting tidbit: I sang "The Rose" in a couple of talent shows when I was in high school. It still is one of those songs I can throw my soul into. Not much of a singer these days. 

"I fall to pieces". A Patsy Cline song. Linda does a better job.  Some songs just have power. 

Favorite Ronstadt song?

45 years ago when I the drove to the rec hall to play pool I used to listen to a Linda Ronstad tape. Today while I was installing it on a different computer it brought back memories like they were yesterday. Good memories, but they could have been bad and still as vivid. Nothing leaves memory. It just needs the right trigger.
