That is pretty amazing Bob. I have to think pretty hard to get through playing "Happy Birthday" without a lead sheet...lol

I guess I could play the opening lines to " Golliwog's Cakewalk" if pressed to, but certainly not the whole thing without the sheet music.

I can remember pretty arcane things like router addresses like 192.147.153.106. Many things I can only remember by writing them down.

I often can recognize a group of notes being typical of a certain artist but would not always be able to play them back.
