Music is a Natural Memory Aid

Statistic of the Day:  An estimated 10 million individuals in the U.S. provide unpaid care to persons with Alzheimer's or other dementias.


Country Western singer/songwriter Glen Campbell has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He is giving a farewell tour and interviews on television. On ABC' World News Tonight, Campbell sat with his wife and reminisced about his career and their relationship.  While his wife, Kim Woollen, helped him remember his age and that he did, indeed, have Alzheimer's, despite "Not feeling it yet," as Campbell said, he held his guitar and played with the gift that God gave him and sang the words to his classics.  That's when his wife said, "Music is a natural memory aid."

Share some musical memories with your loved one today.

  2. I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both
    educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have
    hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few
    people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this during my search for something relating to
    this.

Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the internet can be a lot more helpful than ever before.
