It's a known fact that singing and music therapy can be used as a treatment for the improvement of cognitive function in people with dementia. On a basic level, songs, hymns and interactive music connect in ways that can't always be explained. Special guest, Dave Clark, a prominent songwriter and storyteller, shares his heart on this episode about his experience within his family navigating Alzheimers. You will love his story of "Alice and Bill" and the song he crafted for his family. Listen here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LVeBvU7KfvM
Dave says every song has a story and well-known artists like Rascal Flatts, Larnelle Harris, Sandi Patty, Steve Green, 4HIM, Al Denson, Point of Grace, Phillips, Craig & Dean, Glen Campbell, Donny Osmond, CeCe Winans, Michael Crawford, The Martins, and others - know the power of his songs and lyrics. But his most heart-felt quote says it all, "Although I don't write many story songs, nearly every song has a story. I am in the process of writing them down so my kids will have them."
For those suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's, story set to music can be incredibly healing not only for the loved one, but also for the caregiving family.
