Music is our best doctor
Interesting. Thanks.
My Mom, age 91, still goes to the nearby nursing home and plays the piano for "the old people" there. Of course, most of them aren't as old as she is.
She's done this for years - always remembers everyone's favorite songs, which they love. Apparently,music is stored in different areas of the brain than other memories. Many residents no longer remember even family members, but remember music from their younger days. They often remember verses that we "younger folk" never even knew existed.
Music is truly a universal language which crosses cultures and time!
Yay music! Thanks!
Music heals an awful lot of things.
Thanks for the music.
I definitely have specific memories with specific songs, and if that can help people with Alzheimers, I would gladly donate an old ipod to the cause!
great news, thanks for sharing this
