Dan Cohen, founder of the non-profit organization Memory &amp; Music, arms himself with headphones and music players as he shows -- to the surprise of care-givers -- how patients locked in silence and lost in the maze of dementia seem to find some memories and feelings when they hear the music they love.</p><br clear="all"/>
