Yes, yes, yes, thank you very very much.
I was afraid no one would know what my amateur piano strumming was about.
jl2wanda, was it too hard for you?
 

Yep, and the older I get (79) the more they show up.

Does it happen to the rest of you too?
That a melody appears in your head and you don't know what kind of song or instrumental it is?

Yeah, I don’t know what triggers it.  For me, it usually starts off as a note or two, maybe a muffled word or syllable then it grows from there.  Sometimes hours, sometimes days. I get a little more of it until I usually figure it out.
 
In a recent one all I heard was just somebody repeating themselves.  I later got a sound “ma” later, it grew to “ma” followed by “in’. Somehow I realized it wasn’t someone repeating themselves but two people, one repeating the other.
 
Got it yet?
 
Turned out to be “Mockingbird” by Charlie & Inez Foxx.  I hadn’t thought of that song in years and have no idea what made it come to mind.
