The Music Never Stopped Page #4

I'm the music man.

Good. Good.

All right, let's...

let's play something.

Gabriel...

What's wrong?

He's slipping away.

Let's try that again.

Okay. Okay.

It's all right.

The music definitely had some effect.

Yeah.

I was hoping for something

a little more like my son.

Humans are incredibly

complex beings.

This is not an exact science.

We're really making science.

I'm not convinced yet

that he's even aware of his state.

Let's be patient.

Gabriel, I'm Dianne Daly.

I'm a music therapist,

and your father and I are

gonna play you some music.

Fairy tales can come true

It can happen to you

if you're young at heart

What song is this, Gabriel?

Bing Orosby,

Young at Heart, 1954.

Do you remember when

I first heard this song?

You can go to extremes

with impossible dreams

You can laugh when your dreams

fall apart at the seams

And life gets more exciting

with each passing day...

Oh, never against the grooves, partner.

Always with the grooves.

Good.

Thank you.

Does Uncle Gabe hear this in heaven?

I hope so.

Is that why we're playing it?

Well, it is Uncle Gabe's birthday,

so that's part of the reason.

What's the other part?

Well, this was Uncle Gabe's favorite song,

so when we play it,

we remember him...

like he was here with us

playing his trumpet

right along with Oount Basie.

Does Oount Basie bite people?

Why would he bite people?

Like Oount Dracula.

No. No, not all counts are vampires.

A count is like royalty,

someone important, you know?

Oount Basie is a count

because he's an important musician.

Like Duke Ellington is

the duke of the bandleaders,

Oount Basie is the count

of the piano.

All right, we're in the middle

of a midnight snack

with the Beatles here on WDED,

'cause, you know,

"All You Need is Love. "

Holy sh*t.

Gabriel, is this the song?

Love, love, love...

I love the Beatles.

Magical Mystery Tour!

All You Need is Love.

And Sgt. Pepper's, too.

That's an amazing album.

Oh, A Day in the Life,

that orchestral explosion at the end.

Aw, what a trip, man.

Nothing you can sing

that can't be sung...

I love them.

The Stones, too.

You know, a-and Oream.

I actually...

I saw them play once.

Jack Bruce,

Ginger Baker...

I mean, amazing drummer.

Eric Olapton on guitar.

It doesn't come much better than that.

Ah, and, you know,

no one spaces me out like the Dead.

There's no one like them.

Pigpen.

I love him.

Gabriel...

Do you know why you're here at Woodhaven?

Because I'm not that intelligent.

I think you're very intelligent.

Oan you tell me, where you were born?

White Plains, New York.

Good.

Good. And what year were you born?

Good. So...

So how old are you now?
