Sharing Music

This afternoon 3 friends of mine and I decided to spontaneously visit the Summer-Wood Alzheimer's facility to play music for whoever would listen. We didn't have a very large audience but up to 7 people watched and listened as we all took turns playing our songs. I felt very brave as I played 5 or so pieces on the violin as well as several piano pieces. I didn't feel as nervous as I thought I would. After an hour or so we packed up and went to another nursing home(can't remember the name) and repeated our music there. It was an enjoyable afternoon and I feel like I have a goal for next week to choose some fun familiar songs that the elderly would enjoy. I would love to play at both places again.
