The amount that you have in memory.
on: March 16, 2005, 12:47:14 AM
Please accept my apologies for this post:

I'm trying to find a thread that was here a few months ago on how much you have committed to memory.

Yes, I've used the search function.

I've searched "memory," "hours," "Richter (he was mentioned)," "memories."

No joy.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance,



George

Thanks for the reply, Lost.

I looked and that's not the thread I was looking for. Someone had said that s/he had 40 hours memorized and was wondering if that's a "lot." Several people posted and said that it's really not. Richter, for example had about 150-160 hours ready to go at any time (thing about it - that's a 2 hour concert 5 days a week for 3 months!).

I'll keep looking.

Thanks again,


George
