Oh, how I wish I could have met Dr. Sacks before he passed on to conduct that great Syphony in the Sky! What a wonderful man he was, and such a poet with his words!
A truly Stellar mind...and to watch and listen to Dr. Sacks is just a revelation. A simply beautiful vessel...all that energy and insight wrapped in a very sweet package. Sorry to hear that he has passed on to the great beyond....what a loss.
A Brilliant human being on many levels. RIP Dr Sacks. Thanks to technology you will continue to share your knowledge and wisdoms in perpetuity. No question about the teleology of your time on this physical plane.
Maybe that's why I am comfortable around artists and musicians, with the life-long practice I have had... Would love to know more about this and actually "see" this in my own brain. I need an MRI !!!
And in prisons too.. all these cold sounds of metal and keys turning into locks must be horrible to listen to. It makes the relationship with the guards hostile.
How lucky I was to have met Dr.Oliver Sacks, when he invited me to his home on Central Park South in NYC. Our discussion was meant to never end …… MD.PhD NYC 📚🌎👑✡️👑🌎📚
My ex-brother-in-law had no musical sense, whatsoever. He didn’t like listening to music, was tone deaf, could not keep a rhythm. To him, it was just annoying noise! He is the only person I’ve ever met whom I’d consider truly amusical. I get the horror of a tone deaf cantor. We used to have a tone deaf, arhythmic organist who pounded out high mass. The priest was a kindly gentleman who hadn’t the heart to stop her. How do you tell an old lady volunteer to cease and desist? It was dealt with in the usual Catholic manner. “Offer it up!” Fortunately, it didn’t cause me to lose my religion. But I make a point to attend high Mass in a church large enough to have a paid choir.
This man is such a delight! I've learned so much from him. RIP Dr. Sacks.

Oh 😮 what a shame 😢
Every person should hear this man speak
Oliver Sacks was a gift to humanity. Some may recall or know the movie 'Awakenings' (1990) (and also 'Rain Man' from
'88) was based on Dr. Sack's work
Dr Sacks spoke about his patients with such a passion , those lectures are real treasure ❤
Hear Hear...Thank You Val

Fascinating ! Every child should listen to music everyday… and parents alert to see if they suffer a deficiency of any kind
And in prisons too.. all these cold sounds of metal and keys turning into locks must be horrible to listen to. It makes the relationship with the guards hostile.
Brilliant lecture, brilliant lecturer. Inspirational physitian.
Thank you very much: Music, language and the brain.
Thank you very much.
