On Jeremy Vine's show a story about a girl who almost died in a car crash but was brought back thanks to the often unsung heroes of our medical and ambulance fraternities - but her father told how the one thing that, even when she was in a coma, brought her heart rate up and revived her brain and memory was... music. Her favourite? Reet Petite! I cannot stress loudly or often enough how essential music is in our lives. It is not a luxury. It is up there with food, drink and breath. And love.
