EVERGREENS DO NOT SUFFER FROM ALZHEIMER'S.

-

Carol is no longer who she used to be.

She no longer recognises Nancy, her sister, or Jim, her husband. Most of the time it's as though she isn't aware of the things going on around her.

But when Nancy carefully puts headphones over Carol's ears and plays her most beloved song, her sister's eyes light up. She gently sways to the beat of the song, she even remembers the dance routine. She may nudge Jim's arm. Or tell him what a dun guy he is. For the duration of that song, she's back again. For 4:35, she's Carol.
