GUEST,Ron Songs Appropriate for Nursing Home... (74* d) RE: Songs Approp. 4 Nursing Home... 12 Feb 11


I have been playing in nursing homes and assisted living facilities for over 30 years. You will be amazed at the memories music and song will bring back for the residents and the number of folks that will sing along with you.
I do a variety of Hank Williams, Jim Reeves, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Marty Robbins, Jimmie Rogers, some honky-tonk blues and a little gospel.
I always try and give them an opportunity to tell me "who sang that song"?
I have had residents get up and dance, sing along and even have had a couple that had guitars in their rooms and they played with me.
The residents enjoy the memories and I am blessed by being able to make memories for myself!
