Re: [Harp-L] Harmonica cures Alzheimer's

["Vern Smith" <jevern@xxxxxxx>]

My father-in-law loved C/W music.  As he declined with alzheimer's, I would 
bring my guitar and harmonica to his nursing home to sing/play to him.  Even 
after he could no longer speak or recognize family, he could grin and pat 
his foot in time with the music.
