Is Bob missing something here?  I read the post on dementia and it seemed 
totally apropos here on the DJML.

Those of us on the DJML are primarily in the business of playing and 
enjoying music. Any scientific study which shows that music has an effect on 
mental health is, to my mind, absolutely ON TOPIC and deserves to be 
discussed freely on a forum [DJML] such as ours.

So -- what could possibly be wrong with a thread such as this?

Respectfully submitted,
