Hi all,
I am thinking of putting together a repertoire of pieces from "Grandma's Youth" (or "Grandpa's Youth") with a view to playing in local care homes, especially those who specialize in dementia care.
I know my husband's late mother could sing along with songs from her earlier life, even though she could not tell us what she'd had for breakfast, or indeed sometimes recognize who we were. So the pleasure gained by people with dementia through singing was quite apparent.
So, I'd like some suggestions of pieces that I could play, and that hopefully I can find some music for. I guess we're probably looking at hits from 1930s to 1960s.
thanks
