I have experienced the same thing. A few years ago, I did some volunteer work at a day care respite center for elderly Alzheimer patients. The music activity sessions were amazing. Some patients who had just about lost all of their mental functioning would suddenly burst forth in song, remembering and clearly enunciating the words to old ballads from their youth. They sang in tune also. Medical staff at the facility said that musical abilities and memories are among the last things to go with some of these patients.
