And I have to say I got a good chance of asking this by suddenly witnessing this discussion between Norum and Mic. They were recalling all the songs of TFC...."and then there was this...di-dy-dy-dyy...dy-dyy-dy...what was that? (meaning first notes of Heart of stone, can you believe!)... Mic was thinking... ohmm...hmmm...what was that... Heart of stone! Yes! (I almost could not believe my ears it took so long to figure out for both of them, but I could not shout the name inbetween having regocnized what John was humming...  ) I guess their memory does not work song-title-oriented (like many of ours...) So funny moments!!!!  |

As Norum was explaining (referring to gig), he can start playing many of the songs by hearing the first tunes, the memory is then in fingers and everything starts automatically (even if forgotten what comes next in the setlist).
After that I understood the HOS thing, that it is not the names of the songs or lyrics (which occupy their memory), it' s just THE music...
And to be honest, I could not ask too many questions or praise their music too much... that seemed to call a change in the subject for them (turning into even asking question from me!).... Like they did not want to revolve around their (GREAT) work too much...
So down-to-earth, modest and relaxed guys!

Great stories to hear for us fans! Much more interesting than the usual interviews we read or hear with all the obvious questions.
