I’ve heard similar stories from Hospice volunteers while Hubby was volunteering. They specifically mentioned hymns from the patients’ childhood era. Some would sing along, even though they didn’t speak to, or even recognize, family members.

For decades I’ve heard that exposing babies, even still in the womb, to Mozart and Bach raises their IQs.

I would think that listening to jazz would induce Tourette Syndrome. It’s haphazard — sometimes nonexistent — when it comes to arithmetic rhythm and timing within a measure.

I have at least a thousand vinyl singles, about a thousand 78s and hundreds of LPs. However, they are mostly in storage. Just about anything I want to hear is on Youtube, and if I find something there that I want to keep, I record it on Audacity and save it as an MP3 file.
