@@krob5375there's a study that music, even with profound cognitive decline, is one of the last to be forgotten. music has also been known to unlock memories. i've seen dementia residents that can't even remember their families, a song from their youth plays and they can have a memory triggered - a birthday party or even a song played at their child's wedding with so much detail. sometimes even as far as saying... i remember this song from....1946 for example.

My grandad passed last year at 100.5. He was a professional jazz musician (sax and clarinet) which is where he later met his wife who was a singer in one of his bands. We always had "fam jams" as we called them where we'd all play/sing/listen together. This particular song is one that way always played every single time. His wife would sing it, he would be on sax. She passed in 2020, and he kept on playing even up to his last months. Hearing this song with such an amazing milestone of this man's life really hits close to home and makes me equally nostalgic and grateful for all the times I had with my grandad.

This is wonderful to see and hear, great that Dad still has his chops (my late dad was a jazz drummer and this was his best compliment for a drummer) 🥁😀

[@davidbluefield]

Glad you enjoyed it! Dad's a great listener to the musical conversation between me (keys) and Steve (clarinet) - check out our jazz group Uptown Strutters on soundcloud and a slew of original music as well (also on Spotify)

[@kittymetal186]

​@@davidbluefieldThanks for replying, I'll check out your references! I'm a new subscriber too. I already accessed the links you listed. You guys rock (in a jazz way of course)! 🎹🥁💿

[@trevory9959]

Sweet and wholesome.

[@davidbluefield]

Thanks for the kind words - we are overwhelmed with the response and have uploaded our recorded version of "All of Me" - soundcloud.com/dbluefield/all-of-me...check me out on Spotify for a slew of original music in a variety of styles

[@cyprienloreaudrums4850]

Hope to be like this one day ❤️

[@nothing_to_see_hear]

That's awesome. I'm 32 and I love jazz

[@davidbluefield]

Glad you enjoyed it! Please follow and find more of Dad (3 weeks shy of 104!) as well as original songs in several genres open.spotify.com/track/6Osj2QruTWqgmC5vTbfPRJ?si=4a9c1c7a1cf640be

Wow sounds amazing. It must have been a beautiful era back in the day. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯😎👍

[@peekaboots01]

Some people are just blessed.

[@Slockmen]

I don't think most people realize just how old this man is. Being 104, he has lived through almost 42% of America's existence. And to be able to keep a beat and be mentally aware enough of his surroundings to actually play the drums is actually insane

[@davidbluefield]

Thanks for your astute perspective and observation - check out our jazz album just released open.spotify.com/album/1kOCeKNNKP19NWYTCcjmJK and once there you'll see original music from other genres as well.

Once a musician always a musician

[@craiggamble7637]

This is so very true. Being a musician myself I find it's not only liking to play but it's an obsession with me. I can only go so long without playing and then I give it my all

imagine living 100 years and having the chance to see your sons grow old too haha, that's amazing

[@lennylennington]

Wouldn't that be kinda depressing? You know them first as a baby, then a toddler, then a little kid full of life... and then they grow old and decrepit. Sounds horrendous to me

[@txmvz]

@@lennylennington I think that the circle of life is not necessarily depressing. A healthy person shouldn't grow old decrepit (proof is in this video), plus your children will probably have children and grandchildren too at that point, so then you will be able to rise your childrens, grandchildrens and even great grandchildrens, that sounds incredibly beautiful to me!

[@bryn1063]

​@lennylennington Well if you aren't aging. You're dead. So I'd much rather this. I get what you mean, but it's also touching that you're still seeing your sons grow. Still playing with you, still loving you as much as you love them. ❤️

[@sarcasticnews1195]

Thanks to a horrendous attitude, some people are already decrepit and just don't know it yet ...

[@LydiaWhitting]

I see my son at 40 starting to go grey. Yes it's shocking when u don't see them for years. But then many leave us in the wrong order, and no parent should have to suffer that. So grasp the blessings of life.

That depends on the music. That style of jazz that Leo is playing is upbeat and creative; good for body and mind. Classical music involves more synapses in the brain and is an elevation of the soul.

[@monicaclark9581]

[@JS_Guitar09]

@@monicaclark9581 That's not fair to say. A lot of Rock music is upbeat and creative, too. Take Rush or Pink Floyd. It's not very nice of you to go around saying rock music is inferior.
