An interesting article on the BBC Magazine site about how it's possible to suffer from severe amnesia about everything and yet remember music.
I find that interesting because I have a poor memory for music and if the faculty is housed in a special part of the brain it accords with the Mozart/Miserere phenomenon (which I find almost impossible to believe) and many of us who, for example, recognise a piece of music as being very familiar but haven't a clue what it is.
