That's a great cave. Mine has a flat screen for youtube and for music videos. Its also become my computer room. I really spend a lot of time in there.

Hatted One: I wondered if anyone would notice the book, yes I am a fan of Dr. Sacks. He is a big proponent of musical therapy, especially for those with dementia and other brain disorders. I first heard of his work when I watched the movie "Awakenings" with Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams, a true story amazingly.

Here's a good video of Dr.Sacks talking about Music Therapy.

Yeah, thanks SG :D

I see this phenomenon week after week as we play and sing with Alzheimer's patients; they become more active when the music starts, and they sing songs from memory. They remember the melodies, the harmonies, and the rhythms. I keep the songs coming one right after the other for an hour so by the time we're done we've all had a good workout :D

^^^ Dread, I've said it before, But that is a wonderful thing to be doing out there ( amongst your other good works....The Vets, Etc.) Rewarding too no doubt. These actions make a huge difference in peoples lives and at many levels. I'm sure it brings a lot of joy and hope.
Mate, Keep it up and hats off to you for doing this important work. :wink:
