Yes, it is amazing. I think I saw the Tony Benett video. Clearly, music cannot prevent brain decline but the UK and other research seems to suggest that it can delay the decline. I understand that the cerebellum plays a big role in muscle memory which might explain Tony's skills despite his other limitations.

Donald Hebb (Hebb's Rule) back in the 1940s studied this.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
