I'm going to start playing at a dementia/Alzheimer's community after hearing a great interview at how the residents respond. The average age is probably about 80. I watch them in sing along and though they usually can't remember 2 minutes ago (dementia) and many can't communicate (Alzheimer's), they really perk up, remember the old songs, clap in time and join in. Amazing.
I've done some searches here but does anyone have a list of good, easy to play standards the the old timers like?
Thanks.
