That was interesting. Thanks for posting it, bobad.

I remember reading once about a woman who had Alzheimer's and could not recognize songs by name. But if she was asked "Can you play this?" and a asker sang a few notes, then she could play it on the piano.

Clearly the music was stored somewhere else in memory than the title. No surprise there, I guess.
