- I've had this happen too, especially if I associate the music/event with
- something that went on there. I used to listen to the "Top Gun" soundtrack
- before I went snow skiing. Now every time I even look at my skiis I hear
- those tunes in my noggin. I bet if you associate the music with some image
- ( smell, sight, whatever ), it's alot easier to kick off the music in your
- head. Just don't try so hard and maybe it'll start again.
