Popular Post petitepedal ★ Posted April 3, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted April 3, 2020 So..when I got back from Nebraska..work via the Board of directors had put some practices in place and pretty much cancelled ALL group activities..what few thing were left..pretty much have been cut off since then...ANYWAY...first thing I did was contact our direct TV provider to figure out how to get our regular exercise and Tai Chi videos into the apartments..we did..no sound..but they can follow the videos pretty well. Then I started wracking my brain to come up with someone healthy and able enough to maybe play piano in our atrium...I asked Richard who does music at several churches..at first he said no..but then he called me back and said he would do it!! He is not into performing and hey it isnt his usual style of music..we postponed doing it last week due to my allergies..but today he played for close to 40 minutes..Gershwin and some movie tunes from the 50's or 60's..and he closed with God Bless America and encouraged folks to sing along. The residents were GREAT...maintained social distancing...anywhere from 5 to maybe 15 or 20 folks on each floor..they clapped after each song..and I think it lifted peoples spirits.....Richard and I spoke a couple days ago..as long as folks maintain the safe distance...he will make this a Friday 2pm gig I have also requested a few CD's and will try to play 1 or 2 a day..just to break up the emptiness of our atrium..I played a jazz one this morning...will do it again Monday! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
