Hi everyone,
I need some suggestions for songs to sing at retirement and nursing homes, songs that elderly people would recognize and enjoy. I'm planning to start doing this once a week or so with local facilities, but I need to build up a good song repertoire first for ukulele and guitar. My mom has done the same thing for as long as I can remember, but many of her songs are a little too dated for me. I have a couple of good 1930s songs but, for lack of better words, they might seem a bit too down and depressing for those in their twilight years. (For example: "I'll See You in My Dreams"). I may be wrong, people may want to hear songs in this vein. But I'd love suggestions if you all have any. Ones I've thought of so far:
- You Are My Sunshine
- Dream a Little Dream of Me
I need more. Many thanks for your help!
