Thread Name: Songs and stories at a care facility
Subject: RE: Songs and stories at a care facility
What age are these people? Primarily a geriatric care facility? Songs from their childhood, teen years, and top hits are always good. We use Just Because, Angry, Whispering, When You and I Were Young, My Blue Heaven, Marie, You Are My Sunshine, Sweet Georgia Brown, etc.
We also play Old Time, Irish, Tin Pan Alley, a bit of blues, Golden Era Country (Tex Ritter, T. Texas Tyler, Bob Wills, etc). Songs like Don't Fence Me In, I Wanna Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart, Happy Trails are good out here. Don't know where you are located tho.
