I play at a lovely place in Gordonsville, VA for a group of folks with dementia. There is a phenomenon known as "Sundowning" which is a time of a lot of confusion and turmoil for those with dementia. It is the time right before bedtime. So, I come and play soothing instrumental guitar music for them and they zone out. I zone out too! It is good for me and everyone.
I can say also that some of my instrumental compositions have come from doing these sessions. I really enjoy doing it. As I was playing last night, one woman came up to me and said, "Did you get your guitar cleaned? It sounds so clear!" Ha. I've never been asked that one before.
Have you gotten your guitar cleaned lately?
