I'm back. It's so good to read all these responses. Based on what Musicman said, I'm going to work up some well-known old songs for us to sing with the patients.

There was a woman patient, quite tall, who sat very straight in her chair and listened attentively. When we socialized after the music, she told us that she had been a ballerina with an opera company in Chicago. She began to show us how to move your arms in ballet. It was beautiful. She is 91 years old, yet her arms were still graceful, her movements fluid. True, her skin was wrinkled and all the blue veins showed, but the ballerina was still inside those arms.

Wouldn't it be great if we could see stuff like that on movies and TV instead of the same old garbage?
