That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.

My siblings were just reminiscing about songs we would sing led by our Dad,as we were driving to our Grandmas house on Sunday afternoon. 7 of us are over 80 and remember all the words and the tunes. Good memories
So true. My wife, Sue, who suffered with early on-set Alzheimer's (passed in July 2015 – age 55) responded to music when nothing else. We played music all the time. It brought her peace and hopefully the comfort of better times.
RIP Sue – I love you,
Tom
