Carolina In The Morning? naahhhh we wanna hear After Midnight by Eric Clapton.

Let Me Call You Sweetheart? What? How about All Out Of Love by Air Supply.

That's Amore? ha-ha can you play Another One Bites The Dust, or anything by Queen?

You get the picture...times are changing, including Nursing Homes


Larry, I think this was what I was trying to get at in my original post. I see that after being out of there for the last 10 years. The requests seem more contempory. I don't think its another one bites the dust quite yet. Most of the classics from crooners are staples but I play a couple homes that there are some residents in there 40's and 50's for either rehab or mental disabilities. I get john denver, neil diamond, and peter paul and mary requested often
