Father Can't Get Drunk At Every Bar
Is that the one you teach the little kiddies, Dub'?
Mebbe one of these mnemonics will help. I always have to work it out from first principles. Or either I'll invent one of my own, one.

No, Faldear, I don't teach the order of sharps to the kiddies. I'd lose my job if I taught them the order the way I've learned it. Besides, we don't have to teach the circle of fifths at elementary level. But I'll tell you one thing: Father Can't Get Drunk At Every Bar has stuck in my brain for over three decades. It works. And BEAD Gray CatFish has stuck there, too, for the order of flats. I use both of those mnemonics regularly. Oh, could we see into people's brains as they figure out problems in their separate ways--what great laughs we would have! Let's say I'm figuring out the accidentals in the key of A. I already know A has three sharps--I know to stop on the pitch beneath A to get sharps., so my brain thinks up to G, "Father Can't Get; F C G" Yep. That's how I do it. Key of E? I got down to D, think, "Father Can't Get Drunk" and get my F, C, G and D. Good system. That's what mnemonics are all about. I've thought about my father at bars a lot over the decades. Thank goodness my actual father is long beyond those 3D bar years! My mother would agree with me.

I was surprised when I searched that I could not find prior posting of basic music mnemonic
All Good Deeds Are Ever Bearing Fruit. Can't even remember that it was for in music.

the names of life processes ... Movement Respiration Sensitivity Nutrition Excretion Growth
(Mrs Nerg)
Harley Hills, my tenth grade biology teacher (1956), gave us a slightly different order:
Dr Grime = digestion, respiration, growth, reproduction, irritability, motion, excretion.
Slight differences - digestion/nutrition; irritability/sensitivity; motion/movement - but basically life goes on, doing the same things fifty years later...

The device given for the cranial nerves, 'On Old Olympus ..." was used in Baltimore in nursing schools as being suitable for ladies.
At Hopkins Med school, the device was,
