Yesterday, my wife and I met other hobbyist musicians at our Organ and Keyboard club 
room to entertain each other.

There were violins, mandolins, keyboards and organs and even a little singing displayed.  
I love music and it was nice to see a fairly big turnout for this inaugural event.  We will 
hopefully do it again one month from now with an even bigger turnout.

Some club members are afraid to play in front of strangers, but this helped them relax a 
bit when they saw others doing it.

I have seen that music has definite health benefits as demonstrated when Tony Bennet 
met with Lady Gaga in front of a large crowd.  He went from total dementia, to total 
Tony Bennet.

Before she died, my mother had total dementia as well.  My brother would visit her in 
the home and play my YouTube videos for her.  On the video, I would introduce myself 
and then play the song.  After the song was over, my brother would ask her if she knew 
who the name of the person playing the organ and she couldn't respond.  But she had a 
wide grin on her face when listening to the music.
