Wowee wow wow wow! I knew you guys would come thru for me; what a treasure-trove of information. The comments about the residents are all right on; I've become close to many of them, and already do a number of their personal favorites. The residents of the Low-Stress(a.k.a. Alzheimer's) unit are the BEST!!!! Music is the universal language, to be sure; and it is timeless. Altho' many of them can't remember breakfast, they smile & sing along with so many of the classics; "She'll Be Comin' 'round the Mountain('yee-haw'), "When the St.s Go Marching In", and #1 favorite "You Are My Sunshine". Those of you who participate in this music ministry know that we get as much from it as they do. I've pulled some from the Reader's Digest Collections; Willa, thanks for the offer; I'll let you know. I still need to get tunes for the ones I can hear in my head but can't quite get. And, if you're interested, I could post some of the stuff I've got.(about 30-35 tunes). Susan...THANK YOU! So much input...I do work with one of the activity aides, and have tapped the EZ books. What an idea...tape recording the residents...hmmmm! You've got the wheels turning. There is a guy who's written a couple books (and audio too I think) of recordings he has made over the years of our elders. His work is a masterpiece! Thank you all for the help and the MIDI sites...God bless the musician in ALL of us...PBB
