RE: Memory is a skill, you have to work on it

To your last point, I just played that Moody Blues album sometime last month. I love the Moody Blues' music, but unfortunately, never saw them live. An old friend of mine used to play with the Festival Orchestra. She still sends me a Christmas card or present every year.

Moving on: Yes and no.

One aspect of "memory" is longterm memory - things which we've learned. I learned the alphabet in grade school, and still remember it.

Another is shortterm memory - things whick we just recently saw, heard, felt or smelled. Much music is in that category. We can remember the performance of the notes, but can we remember the exact tone quality of the instrument? - no. If you say "yes", you're fooling yourself.

The DETAILS of a sound fade away very quickly in our memories. As I wrote previously, within about seven to fifteen seconds, depending on your skills.

BTW, I've still not found what I'm looking for.
