Thanks so much for posting this, Elmer: It sounds like a wonderful idea. Too bad it's just for women. I'd try to sneak by, wearing a dress, but my moustache would probably give me away. The thing that's different about this organization is that they sing at bedsides. I'll have to ask at nursing homes where we sing, if they allow that. I've always sung in a room where many patients are gathered together, and in a way that makes more sense as we can bring some pleasure to many people at a time, instead of just one. But, I can see situations where someone is bed-ridden who can't come to a common room, where it would be good to sing to them, one on one. I commented on this in a little more detail in the Sitting At The Kitchen Table thread, so I won't repeat myself.

Music is one of the greatest of gifts to bring to someone who is sick, or depressed. Flowers don't compare..
