Music as an Aid for memory recall

"When I hear music, I feel no danger, I am invulnerable, I see no foe, I am related to the earliest times and the latest". Henry David Thoreau

Over the course of the last 50 years I have amassed a collection of 1,000s of songs in print, album, tape, digital and video/DVD formats. Included are the complete works of Beethoven and popular, western music of the last 150 years. I am a natural born ethnomusicologist and enjoy music from around the world. Eager to learn, which songs to memorize is always a difficult decision and how many songs am I capable of remembering anyway?
