	I simply became accustomed to hearing certain pieces of music in 
certain keys.  Eventually, I found that I could sing a piece in the same key
in which I had heard it without any accompaniment.  For a few years, certain
pitches would remain associated with certain pieces of music, but eventually,
I could identify the pitches by themselves.
