Ebbie - an article in the Telegram and Gazette, the daily newspaper of Worcester, Massachusetts recently related that a large group of people with Alzheimer's led by one man and his wife with Alzheimer's sing and remember the words to the football theme song of their college, College of the Holy Cross, also in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Telegram and Gazette is available online at telegram.com. I think the stories are archived. The name of the song is "Chu Chu, Rah, Rah!" or something like that. Yes -- people with Alzheimer's often remember songs. I also wrote an article for the Worcester Magazine, a weekly newspaper in that city about a music therapist who worked with a man with Alzheimer's who could play the piano. He advanced in communications skills through it. Also - she works with developmentally challenged children. Hope this has been a help. As soon as I can find the article on the music therapist, I will type it in and send it to you.
