Following on from what Nick mentioned – and I’m sure that Thor has mentioned it too – I also used to know every one of my CDs (LPs back then) note for note. Part of the reason was that I had so few, another perhaps is that I (we?) were absorbing everything like a sponge in the old days. It may be futile to try to recapture that, but I am of a nostalgic bent, and instead of attempting to embrace everything in all its exponential wonder I find myself tending to at least want to get back to really “knowing” what I already have.
Hence my decision to start a walkthrough, albeit only of Williams at the moment.
