pachyderm....you're a gem! my 11 year old son tried telling me the same thing, even saying that recent research has shown learning to play instruments in particular helps neuro pathways re-grow.

shame on me i thought he was just trying to soothe me coz he knows my lack of memory distresses me and i used to do instruments as a kid and miss that i don't remember how no more.

but now you've said the same thing...Thank You for that, i will check it all out online...

and ty for the neurotalk link coz i do keep forgetting i'm actually a member there til the name comes up.

peace & love to you ((((pachyderm))))
