But if a song is in my head it's there until I start up a new one. It almost never stops until I remember it's going on, so for 2 hours I'm into white xmas, then it's Fly with me. I have to think about the tune, sing a few bars to myself, and it takes off from there. Can anyone concurr that this is the start of full blown Old Timers...



If it is, then I've suffered from Alzheimer's since around the age of three.

You've got a song in your heart, as the old song goes.

That's a good thing, no?

I often will stop and whistle or sing the song that's going through my head when the wife is with me.

Just today I skatted the main theme to the Clementi piano thing in C at her. Dum-dee-di-dum-dum, Dum-dee-di-dum, Dee Deedle Deedle Deedle Deedle Deedle Deedle-Dum...

I tell her I just wanted to share what else I was hearing along with her...

Then there's those times of what I like to call "mental practicing" in which I *imagine* I'm playing a particular song on a particular instrument, then imagine transposing it to other keys on the fly, as well.

Sometimes I hear things that I cannot identify as being already composed, too.

Happened just the other week in the band van on the way from a gig.

"Man, I wish you guys coulda heard THAT!"
