Thread Name: Songs Appropriate for Nursing Home...
Subject: RE: Songs Approp. 4 Nursing Home...
Thanks, guys, for all the positive and helpful input. Am glad to see the consensus is that I need not censor (thanks, DaveO...blush) my material. Good idea, to ask them at the end of a session what they liked, what they'd like more of. Only wish I had a wider chord repetoire as I know and love lots of 30's/40's stuff but can't get my guitar to fit around them. Have actually had more luck with dulcimer...Moonlight becomes you, Zing went the Strings of my Heart, lots work well. Glad to know, also, that spiritual stuff will be covered elsewhere, as I am a secular kind of person...about the only song I sing in that line is Satan's Jeweled Crown and The Darkest hour (is just B4 the dawn)...

Thanks, Bob, for your input from the other side of the desk....loved your Bawdy Maud story.

I'm a finger picker and I've just broken my thumbnail..will have to sing loud to compensate! Will now go and search archives....Thanks again

Nancy
