Music and singing connects us all

My son and I have been volunteering with the Sing Along Group at the Olds Hospital and Care Centre in Long Term Care.  I started with the group over 25 years ago when Don Bennett and the two Ingas offered their singing talents and enthusiasm for the residents in Long Term Care.  I was hesitant at first but learned that the outer shell of a person just hides the true person inside.  I learned this with my son who has Down Syndrome.  Music speaks to ALL people in some way no matter what our physical abilities or even appearance present to the public.

Sharing our musical talents has been so very rewarding and allows both of us to do two of the things which we enjoy most = music and interacting with people.

Thank you for this opportunity to share and to put a smile on someone's face!
