There is a curious dichotomy for some in aging ... songs are retained.

A 91 y.o. Dutch friend, that has not been to Mass in 80 years found herself singing along with hymns she learned before age 11. Pope Fracis televised funeral was her prompt and it shocked even her.

A recent friend would sing old tunes to his agitated dying mother-in-law and she would fall asleep with peace.

I would like to read of similar experiences regarding the elderly.

Silly River Stage this is legit ... some of the "below the line" fits here too.
