Amazing. I wish they'd do a sit-down with her and interview her. She seems perfectly capable of recalling details, though a little fragile. I love how her hands work to the music while she watches.

Sorry, I'm not able to play that clip, and I can't figure out how to make it work. Anyone have any ideas? It sounds really intriguing.
