Re: The Greatest Physical Therapy Playlist: Geriatrics

[Guest guest]

While Born in the fifties, I do like the music of that time. having been a big

Beatles fan and played drums in a rock band in high school and college, I love

the 60's sounds especially the FAB4 (Thats what the Beatles were called for

those too young to remember and those too old not to want to remember) So off of

my friend Dave's suggestions, get on the XM/Sirius and explore stations 5, 6, 7,

8.

as for singles, the 2 songs I sang to my daughters when they were young:

1. " My Girl " by The Temptations

2. " Ain't no mountain High Enough " by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terril

The Greatest Physical Therapy Playlist: Geriatrics

PTManagers

I think it is about time that this list had some fun.

I am tired of Fraud, Policy and Professionalism discussions for now

Here is what I propose

I want each and everyone of you to identify your favorite musical song to be

played in a PT or OT clinic during patient care times. You can choose

whatever song you want - for whatever reason you want. You may want to pick

something inspirational, motivating, or just a song that you or your

patients like. Remember this first one is for Geriatric patients - I doubt

that rap or hip hop will be very popular. Just pick what you and your

patients like.

First we'll do Geriatric patients [others later]

Send a response to the PTManager list [just reply to this message] with:

Name of the Song

Artisit

No reason to justify your choice or even explain it

I will compile the entire playlist

Most of all - have fun with this

We play a lot of compilation CDs (old songs by new artists) like Rod 's

Great American Songbook, Bette Middler's Rosemary Clooney, etc.  Start's a good

dialogue about where people were when that song was popular.

I use an iPod so everyone chooses their favorite when they come in -

have several compilations and purchase something if I find a hole in the

library.

But this thread reminds me of the older gal I worked with in hospital

years ago, called me the drill sargeant and she would belt out " You're

In the Army Now " as we worked on posture and gait. Would get a chorus

rolling by the time we made it back to her room.

I like " My heart will go on " by Celine Dion and from the movie " Titanic " mainly

because my good friend and colleague Mulvey, DPT, who has a pretty good

voice, would sing along with it at the top of his lungs, making the little old

ladies swoon.

Great idea for a thread !

We use Pandora in the clinic- " Sinatra radio " is great for Monday mornings
