And I'm thinking of Glen Campbell.

I don't know whether you saw the documentary about him.

He had dementia in his later years.

And yet when the first chord was struck, off he went.

facets of brain and memory are gone.

And yet this remains.

Now, the question of playing versus listening and playing which instrument versus another instrument.

And to what extent is, you know, the release of endorphins happening in the brain and therefore it chills you out.

And therefore, if stress is damaging, chilling is great.
