Dr. Salk?s Vaccine
« on: 7 Jul 2009, 12:36 am »
I have a friend that I brought over to my condo to listen to some LP's.  She has schizophrenia and a few other mental illnesses.  She now has the functionality of a 2 1/2 year old on drugs.  She is often unresponsive and will usually answer with one garbled word.  I put on Boz Scaggs and then Hugh Masekela.  She picked up a Thomas Kincade art book and started reading it!  She asked me what year it was.  I told her it was 2009.  She said, "I thought it was 2008.  Time flies!"  You could have blown me away with a feather.  That which was dead is now alive!  It is incredible the power of Dr. Salk's Vaccine!

Oh wow - that's pretty crazy cool.  I am guessing she liked the music, especially through the Salk's.  Play it more often for her!  :)

It's amazing how good sounding music can penetrate and reach the inner most self and awaken it from its autistic hideaway. Thanks for sharing that story. Joel
