They're Playing My Song

What would your soundtrack look like if you were an Alzheimer's patient receiving music therapy?

Working backwards, mine would be:

Laurie Berkner, Raffi, and other children's music

Traditional, folk music, sea shanties, world music (from all of our travels to historic places)

Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, and "women's music" of our pre-parenthood/Chicago days

Broadway musicals of the 1970s-2000 (up to and including Rent, but not much more recently than that)

Pop of the 1980s, particularly Wham!, George Michael, and Culture Club

Broadway musicals of my parents' era, esp Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Lowe
