Attachment: 95400F7A-5B70-41A9-BBB4-ACC0227F34C4.jpeg She has struggled to remember names and faces for a while, so it’s always tough to visit. I know it’s all in there because there is recognition in her eyes, but her thoughts are clouded. I played all standards out of my edition of the Real Book because I figured this crowd would have a connection and appreciation for that era. Turns out that was a good move because as I played and looked around the room I saw heads moving, people swaying, people snapping, and I heard people humming along with me. At one point, after playing the tune “My Way”, something cool happened. My grandmother who has not called me by name in over a year looked up at me, smiled, and said, “Oh Michael, your grandfather and I used to dance to that song.” Music heals. Music is meaningful. Music is powerful. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. -Michael |
