I’ve been reading books written by Dr. Oliver Sacks for over a decade, and I am really looking forward to seeing this. When I first saw one of the videos last week, I reminded my daughter to make sure she has a list of my favorite music.
As a stroke / heart-attack survivor who thought I wouldn’t live, much less play again, I am not at all surprised that music reconnects those who have lost themselves, that, and I’d already read it in his written works…cheating I guess.
