Yes, joking aside, I agree that a more important issue than memory-loss induced by age is volume of material. If you only know a handful of songs, then it's going to be easier to hold onto them. As the number increases, things get more complicated. What makes things worse for me, too, is that I can get greedy and want to learn more songs and at a faster rate than I'm capable of.
