00:00The focus of my remarks today is a disease that much of our community has dubbed an epidemic.
00:17A disease for which there is no proper diagnosis, no preventable treatment, and no cure.
00:30I saw the most interesting performance today.
00:37An old man and a woman.
00:41The woman, her voice was wonderful, but something was off.
00:47Oh, she'd just take this and give it to the next person she sees.
00:52She don't know money. I barely knew she'd sung a song.
00:56You a doctor?
00:58I'm a scientist. I do research.
01:00Oh, so you want to study her?
01:06She has delusions, followed by moments of clarity.
01:10She'll be told.
01:11But you done it?
01:12She's right.
01:13I had me some schooling too now.
01:17One moment she's smiling, and then she's gone again.
01:23But she seems to be hanging on through her music.
01:26I don't know.
01:28How come she remembers a club that opened in 1958, but not me?
01:34The last memories she'll retain are her oldest memories.
01:39She done more for me than the other way around.
01:42And we opened up.
01:44Why would you bring her here without talking to me first?
01:46It's the right thing.
01:47She can't be in a place like that.
01:53She'll stop singing.
01:55You know how Satchimal got his name.
01:59Unbelievable.
02:03Does she still remember her music?
02:04The music?
02:10So, they call him Satchimal?
02:13How'd you know that story?
02:18What story are you talking about?
