[Dixielandjazz] Music and it's aid

[EDWIN COLTRIN]

My late lady friend and I took her Mother and Father, an advancing Alzheimers and Parkinsons patient on  a Cruise. One evening when a Conga line started with the appropiate music, he bounded out of his wheel chair and entered the line. We had to stop him before he got to the ladder to go up to the next deck. His hobby had been a Square Dance Caller. But could never remember any words even when the music was played.
 
Ex- wife's stroke left her virtually speechless, except for a few cuss words, but would mouth words to music on the radio. Eventually she recovered to about 95%.
