Brilliant. If (God forbid) I ever get "there" I hope somebody has the kindness and the tools to plug me in and let me boogie.

One of the things I love about music is the emotional response I feel, whether it's something new that " floats my boat " or old stuff that brings back memories from my past. Stands to reason that at some level music will cause a positive feeling to everyone, young or old, healthy or not so.
What a fantastic way for these poor folk who live in their confused world to feel happy. As young Slinger said, plug me in.

I hope I never get too old (more likely incapable) to listen to music.
I hardly ever watch TV, but music is a must for me.

Music is a very powerful tool when caring for people living with dementia. My wife is the dementia lead nurse for the southeast and will often calm down distressed patients with a sing-song.

My mum has vascular dementia, really good to see her "finger dancing" and foot tapping when there's music on. Also lots of memories are now disappearing for her, but she still manages most of the lyrics from old songs - great therapy.
