Music Therapy at Charlie's Place

Music is an important part of the day at Charlie’s Place. After lunch, we retire to the living room for a singalong to familiar tunes from yesteryear. People from the community come periodically to share their musical talents with us. We have dubbed ourselves “Charlie’s Place Glee Club” and give ourselves a rousing round of applause after every song fest. Some of us sing while others clap, sway, hum, dance, or smile. Our dear veterans often stand and salute to our patriotic songs. We find that music, after a busy morning and tasty lunch, is a great way to relax.
