A few posts ago I stated I would be posting some positive things and I haven't done so yet. Tonight I am thinking of a beautiful moment that happened with Mom this afternoon. It made my day.
Back in the early 60s when I was just a young child Mom played in the church choir. She had a nice voice and blended in perfectly with the other choir members. It was decided at some point to record the singers and make an LP from the results.
For those of you who don't know what an LP is, it was the main medium for recording music prior to the invention of CDs in the 80s. LPs were great to listen to(still are) on the turntable. And I would argue they had some superiorities over CDs in sound. But I digress.
So, Mom and the others were recorded on an LP and tonight I played that record back for her. Mom who has serious memory issues started smiling and then sang along with the album! She remembered all the lyrics and it truly was a blissful moment for her. And me.
Music truly is the universal language, even for those who are losing their minds.
Beautiful.
