    He’s not just mumbling here, he’s singing *“scat music.”*
    *Cab Calloway was a jazz singer/musician famous for his scat* (vocal improvisation with wordless vocables) in the era of swing music (1930s-40s).

    I remembered watching this video after we watched the ending of Coco in class. With this in context, not only did it make the movie much more heartwarming in context, but also how the music is a powerful tool to help the elderly become animated.
    Either way, music is such a strong element in entertainment, studies, and therapy. It's just so versatile and powerful, while also being for everyone :)

It was amazing to me when churches came in to sing, or someone would bring their guitar around to share a tune or two with dad, he was immediately lifted. why cant we supply these I-pods to every housebound senior, every person that is in a nursing home... we are so capable of more than what we are doing. It broke my heart to see the loneliness and sadness for these beautiful people that have so much to give to us. Listen to Henry... his words... about love... beauty... I am touched.

    I saw the documentary "Alive Inside",, on Amazon. I thought is was wonderful. I have always felt that way about music. I could be in a depression but when I play my music, I come alive and I dance all around my apartment. Music has always gotten into my soul and gave me a natural high. I don't see why they do not use them in nursing homes As a matter of fact they need to change the way the deal with the elderly. In the nursing homes I worked in only about 1/3 of the population had visitors and of those only 2 or 3 of the patients the relatives came every day. People just put them away and forget the elderly and the terminally ill. Beware because it could be you one day.

    Music is real magic. Genuinely. It's kept me fighting through all of these years. It'll keep me fighting through the harshest of times.
    My father died years ago. He was in a coma, we did not think he could communicate any longer. He showed no signs.
    The night before he passed away - I played 'Silent Lucidity' by Queensryche for him... and he began to mouth the lyrics. He was there, the whole time. He was there. We were all around him crying, peaceful and in solace. He was still with us, and he decided to pass away the next day, holding my mother's hand.
    And he smiled. He also felt our peace.
    Music is a beautiful thing, it is the thing that can bring us all back together again. It is the thing to always vibrate and enchant our souls.
    It is a most precious gift, created by us, for us. Forever.

    I'm half crazy all
    for the love of you.
    when 2 residents had joined in and continued to sing
    It won't be a stylish marriage,
    I can't afford a carriage.
    But you'll look sweet,
    Upon the seat,
    Of a bicycle made for two.
    none of us could remem the rest. the one lady was blind but no dementia signs but the other lady was constantly confused walking round.
    she sat sang along and then laughed.
    it was the most settled id seen her since she came to us.

    Art and creativity has meaning. Its deeply ingrained with us as a species. And this is proof that its deep in our subconscious, and isn't just....a thing. Its as needed to us as sunlight and fresh air. People need to be creative.

    The thesis for my MSN was "Music as a non-pharmacological intervention to address patient anxiety in the peri-op period." There is magic in music!

    My grandma has been suffering from dementia for 9 years now. It's a terrible disease. It's like being dead while you're still alive. We've lost so many moments together. Extremely sad!
