Sorry for the month off. "Into each life some rain must fall..." (I was underwater last month.)
I'm preparing to record a CD of oldies for the sweet people I play for each week in Retirement Homes and Alzheimer's units. I can only be there once or twice a month; several places it's only once a month because of limited budgets. I thought it might be a blessing to have an inexpensive CD of favorites they could purchase and play in their room whenever they choose. My brother-in-law has a recording studio here in Columbus, and has counseled me to pick "public domain" songs for this first one, to avoid the expensive royalties.
I've been asking the folk for favorites. With memory loss, they cannot pull out a favorite, but I can tell by their faces when I've hit on a goodie. Which prompted me to ask you, my fair readers. If you were confined to a room, perhaps a bed and wheel chair, contemplating your departure from this life, what songs would you want playing to comfort or inspire you? Use the comment spot below to send me your top five songs. Also, ask your oldest friend or relative; that's more the age I'm targeting, with this first CD. thanks for your help on my project!
