Oliver Sacks In Conversation (pt 1 of 5)

A video I managed to take of Professor Oliver Sacks during a rare talk in London to promote his new book "Musicophilia - Tales Of Music And The Brain".
My apologies for the poor sound quality but I thought there might be a number of people who would like to see this anyway. I'm pleased to say I met the great man afterwards, whereupon he signed a copy of his book for me ... I was elated!!!

How very fascinating! Listening to music is such a big part of my life that I couldn't imagine being afflicted with amusia. I guess it would be like losing sight...

[BeardyRebel]

Indeed, like me, I know you love your music Andy. It's almost unimaginable to think that something so wonderful to the majority of us could be so unpleasant to anyone isn't it? Music is one of the best things known to man in my humble opinion - Kev
