Phonographic Memory

Some people have photographic memories, I have a phonographic memory.  I can hear a song that I haven’t encountered in years and still remember the lyrics. I think it comes from  having a transistor radio attached to my ear as a kid. And there are certain songs that automatically take me back to a particular time or place. I’m sure the late neurologist and author Oliver Sacks would have something to say about this quirk, but I have yet to read his tome, Musicophilia.
