Golden oldies



Our next concert for the aged care centre involving just the five of us will include medleys with a musical wild west theme whilst others have a repetitive chorus we hope will entice the residents to join in. It only seems like yesterday  I was in the Musical "Calamity Jane" (pictured above) nearly 40 years ago. 
The program is:
Oklahoma Medley
Calamity Jane medley
Walking in the Air
Darling Clementine
Campdown Races
My Bonnie lies over the Ocean

Giving the gift of music to the aged of the community is such a wonderful thing. I won't forget the time a nurse came to our little group and told us that Mrs. ..... was singing along with us and the amazing thing was, that woman never had spoken since she had arrived in the home! Music is powerful.

Hi Halle
I agree with you such concerts can be very rewarding and what a miraculous experience for you. I have heard of happening but it does not make it any less special for you personally. Indeed a magical a moment which no doubt will always remain stored in the treasure trove of your fondest reflections.
Best wishes
