This video is worth 6 minutes of your time.
Watch how much music effects an Alzheimer patient.
His expression when he first hears the music explains it all.

Hats off to swissmiss & Kottke for sharing the video.
Check out Mrs. Dude’s Alzheimer portrait of her Grandfather, Poppy. Great story and amazing pictures.
Have I mentioned that Mrs. Dude is fantastic photographer?
Thanks for sharing! This brought happy tears to my eyes. Poppy would do something similar when Mom or I would put our iPods on at the nursing home. He wouldn’t become as animated as Henry but you could see a light turn on and he changed for sure. This man reminds me a lot of Pop. He was always dancing, singing and praising God. When Pop was finally able to let go he was listening to my Old Rugged Cross Pandora station. 🙂
