Charles DeCarli, director of the UC Davis Alzheimer's Disease Center, was distraught when he heard that Bruce Willis had been diagnosed with a brain disease a few weeks ago — partly because he knows better than most what it means.

DeCarli said Willis "plays a pretty wicked harmonica" and "wasn't a totally bad singer."
