Same here but it was my Dad. When dementia takes your mind, your life is finished, anyhow. My health issues (Parkinson's) parallel my Dad's, but mine are about 10 years sooner than in his life. I'm going out the fun way - party til you drop!!!
I absolutely loved this live song! This is one of the very best versions of this song I've ever heard and my favorite live version. Thanks for posting this one, Julie. 👍💖🎸😎
@@JulieMeyers I live in Northern California and have been to Berkeley many times over the decades! Had I known about LP back then, I would have been there in a flash! There a couple of really great record stores in Berkeley: Rasputin & Amoeba. I picked up some great blues albums among other things there. 👍👍👍
@@JulieMeyers Isn't this song dedicated to a family member? Since someone, I think the father, is senile dementia? The nasty thing about dementia is that it affects the short-term memory first. One can remember more & more the simplest things no longer. And with the time in the deep memory no more abilities can be stored. Until this also dwindles little by little. We can reconstruct the "circuit diagram" in our head - but we don't have the slightest idea of how it actually works. Our brain can be excellently compared to a huge computer network consisting of billions of individual computers, in which each of these computers has thousands of cross-connections to other computers. To represent the wiring diagram of only one of these neurons, i.e. all the cross-connections to other neurons, one would need 40 pages of printed paper. If one were to put the whole brain together, 5 billion volumes of 400 pages each would be needed to write down only all the cross-connections of this gigantic network. One would not know for a long time how the brain works, how information is processed there, how it comes that we can absorb thoughts, draw conclusions, find insights and creatively deal with them. And so, even in our highly technologized time, the brain is scientifically almost completely misunderstood. If it were otherwise, we would construct our computers according to this ingenious principle. Today's computers, however, can only process programs, command after command, that's all. No own thinking, no own conclusions, nothing. Our brain, on the other hand, can do all this - seemingly effortlessly, silently, without enormous waste heat, and also at an extremely high computing speed. In the human brain, for example, 10 to the power of 18 computing operations are performed per second, i.e. one billion times one billion. Very fast computers, on the other hand, are 100 million times slower, with 10 billion computing operations per second. This is precisely what makes it so difficult to help people struggling with dementia. Ideas on how to help anyway would be at least as valuable as a brain is complex. Maybe music can make a difference? After all, we are not only head, but everything is also linked to the emotional world. Some even think that we are also in a state of connection outside our head. Astronauts, for example, who lived very far away from the earth for a long time (space shuttle) have noticed that they had increasing difficulties in accessing their memory. Which, to shorten it a bit, is related to the earth's magnetic field. So there is the thesis that our head acts & is linked to its environment in a more complex way than previously thought. If one looks at the radio radiation (electromagnetic radiation/interaction) [4 & 5-G networks etc.] that has been permanently affecting mankind in an unnatural way for years, then one may have a possible explanation for this disease. Which, compared to generations before us, is increasing. So maybe the solution is not a medical feat but rather an infrastructure problem? Pulsed microwaves, which hammer us umpteen times in cities at every place of every household, are just not provided in the nature of man. I have 24 different wi-fi networks in the area. And permanently 24/7, 365 days/year. We should think hard while we still can.

@@Alpha_Rocking I believe this was written for their father's father, but dementia is prevalent in their family, as it is in mine. I enjoyed your analysis and I agree with much of it. Another major factor with dementia, is that it is a known illness now, and was not so readily diagnosed in the past. I agree that radiation ( I forgot your teminology), EMF is what we always called it, may contribute to health issues. But I think the increase in population has led to more production, use, and consumption of toxic chemicals in our environment. I think cancer would be at about the same increased levels as dementia. What do I know? You just made me think about it. I have Parkinson's and my brain is only a short time away from becoming another statistic. I can't worry about it - only enjoy the time I have each and every day. Just my perspective...
@@JulieMeyers Ohh ... the grandfather then ... ok ... There will be, as so often, some reasons. All of which together negate this difficult disease. Also, each person is an individual case, who fell ill individually, so under personal circumstances. Often substances get into the environment, where only afterwards the work begins to prove that they can make ill. Instead of preventively investigating & clarifying beforehand what can be used where & how. That would be the simplest method to prevent later catastrophes. When I am asked in old age (or earlier) when my birthday is, and I will answer; "we will see about that", or asked; how are you? and I answer; "why not?" - then one knows at least that one is ill with dementia with a certain elegance. Perhaps a small consolation? But until it is so far; I try above all to listen to many a little more & to pass on useful knowledge. You can't take away knowledge, where we will all go one day. We have to (try to) learn, to acquire knowledge beforehand & to put it into practice. For those who come after us - right?

Magnificent magic
Love this song
Wonderful...touching my soul
This voice is just gorgeous! Hmmm Yeah ... ! 🤗
i love this song, i love larkin poe, many thanks julie...
This song speaks to me. Thank u.
Me, too. I thank the girls, also.
I prefer these older versions of "Mad..." with Rebecca playing mando. I also just love her preach at the end.
One that resonates in my soul. My Mom had dementia and I promised myself I won’t become as Mad as a Hatter.

@@JulieMeyers , hoping you have many good years before the end. Have a plan ❤️🥰💫
Thank you and I hope you never have to face it.
Powerful song.
Genial , un fuerte abrazo 🙋🏻♂️🇪🇦💜
So much better back then.

Posted this in 2019. Glad you like it. Check out Mr. Mechanic from the same show.

@@audiophileman7047 I know!!! They have been in my backyard, too, before I knew of them.
I love this song too. But I prefer the version recorded at The Convent. The mix is a bit better. 2 cents.

We must educate. We have to be more prepared.
Many types of mental illness and many of our lives will be impacted. It is hard.
