Last Sunday, CBS 60 minutes did a story about Tony Bennett's Alzheimer's and memory loss. The fascinating thing about the story is that, in spite of his severe short-term memory loss, his singing memory is still intact. If you missed it, you can watch it online at:

His voice is still great and he knew all the words to many many songs. I did see the special and also saw the 60 Minutes piece. Just the next day or 2 after the concert, Tony had no memory of even giving a concert. At the time on stage he smiled, acknowledged the massive audience.0

Just like Glen Campbell.
The brain is sooooo complex.
This is about a friend of mine and her mother;
