IanC: I find your posting very interesting. Thanks for writing it. I'll have to read the Alzheimer thread now. The power of music is amazing.

I would be interested in your reasoning, though, why you find "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" acceptable to sing i a pub session, but not "Abide with Me."

Thanks, too, Liz the Squeak, for passing information that I was totally unaware of.
