I have music playing in my head ALWAYS. I wake up at night with a song going through my mind. I know not what triggers the memory of a particular song, but one is always there when I awaken. I wake up in the morning with a song going through my brain. I wake up in the middle of the night with a song playing in my head. For instance I woke up last night with ―Alexander’s Ragtime Band‖ playing in my head. Where did that come from? I’ll never know. But as I lay there listening to the song and singing the words in my mind (yes, I know the words to that song) I was reminded of the 1941 movie, ―The Strawberry Blonde‖ with Rita Hayworth, Jimmy Cagney, Olivia Dehavilland, and Jack Carson (George Reeves even appeared in it, though at the moment, I can’t remember anything about his part.) Well, anyway, whenever there is silence no matter what time of day or night, I have music in my head.
