Those links aren't going to link for now. I'll type them back in later.
I'd left a pile of cds at the nursing home so that everyone could use them. They were mainly popular songs from 1940s Hollywood movies,though there were song sing a long cds and a bit of classical music. They'd been bought for someone who suffered from dementia so I just left them there after she'd died. Some are sing-a-long cds that I thought would be useful in between the times the Old Time song and dance man's visits. The residents in the home would sing and dance and the staff would join in too for the hours the guy was there. It was obvious how much the residents enjoy these visits.
