In Remembrance

I cant find my post on this in the archives - so once again -
what we can do right now to feel better more often~ because~ this is the only therapy that I know of that works... MUSIC... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nnLTPPDRXI Oliver Sacks, author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and An Anthropologist on Mars, discusses the effect of music therapy on Parkinson's disease patients. The story related in the video comes from Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain (Alfred A, Knopf, 2007), Dr. Sacks's latest book.

That's a very interesting quick documentary. As someone who plays the piano, I can understand the effects of rhythm on me. I find that I walk better and move better if I am counting beats and play some music in my head. It's like they keep me going in a forward steady motion.

Hi See Saw,
I do the same thing when I walk, or even take it one step farther. I'll play in my head one of the things that I'm working on. I wonder other people notice that I sometimes mumble as I walk. They'll think I'm crazier than I really am. I think it's the forward motion of the rhythm that keeps us moving because we force our selves to keep up with the beat. When I play the piano, I find I play my best if I count out loud like I did whent I was first learning. If I count internally, I lose the beat and everything becomes unsteady. It's totally weird how this works, but I like it. John |
