I think my band induced it in the audience.
It is a fascinating area. The title story from the famous book by Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat, has Sacks basically prescribing to a musician who is suffering visual agnosia to make music his life as he could function well in the musical realm.
Interesting! I see Sacks also wrote Awakenings. My college friends used to enthusiastically recommend the movie to me; I can't recall why. I assume it had something to do with either psychology or music, my two great loves. I never did watch it. I should track it down.
^I agree, Moog. The book and movie are both great and factual when it came to the use of l-dopa as a treatment for encephalitis lethargica; what the Robert De Niro character (Leonard Lowe) was suffering from.
Sacks’ books are great reads. Awakenings was a good film of the book. Robin Williams and De Niro we’re both great in it.
Moog, I got all misty toward the end of the movie when Leonard's tics temporarily disappeared when he danced with Paula.
