  • wow i can just imagine playing my guitar in front of an audience and suddenly i look at them and i would say to my self

    "who are these people?" i would just totally ruin the performance, it has to be confusing and chaotic!!

  • @PALKIA99 Please send him much respect from Music Therapist in Los Angeles!

  • An amazing man with a great gift for explaining complex ideas in simple language. A lot of his work reminds me of a quotation I read once - ASK NOT WHAT DISEASE A PERSON HAS, BUT WHAT PERSON THE DISEASE HAS.

  • articfox1 - Excellent comment!!! I work at a retirement community and observe folks with dementia - this perspective is essential in not losing sight of the valuable individual behind the fading brain.

  • @ytcarol there is an argument on internet demanding that love isnt real because relationships are forgotten when the mind is lost. so it is said, love is in the mind. what do you think from observing patients? cant the quality of empathy still survive?
