Something a bit different on our podcast this week! The power of music, with our very talented guest

Music has the power to touch us, move us, heal us

Agreed Debbie: a difficult watch

I remember ringing round to buy PPE because we all knew the supplied equipment was hopeless

And the feeling of drowning as covid hit within weeks of lockdown. Was sure I would die

Now damaged but lucky to be alive

Thank you so much for those kind comments

Still trying to make a difference!

Sadly, I can pay personal testimony. Still on medication and still symptomatic from #COVID19 heart failure. I suspect there will be a cohort of us with early Ill health and mortality

Delighted to be invited to contribute

And if anyone needs convincing about the #mentalhealth benefits of music, a reminder of Paul Harvey, a person with #dementia improvising this moving piece

What music moves you to tears?

I don't often post personal stuff, but the live version of this song is amazing

Despite it's title I didn't realise this was about death till it was played at a friend's funeral

Sit down, turn the volume up, and take 5 minutes to reflect on how wonderful, and ephemeral, life is

Adds to the growing evidence of neurological damage following Covid

TWENTY YEARS brain ageing!

How is this not better understood 4 years on?
