Getting through the barrier

[Javan]

I find that when the switch goes off if I sing the question it nearly always gets a response. I go with well known tunes and melodies, even nursery rhymes. People may think you are a lunatic, but stuff them if I make contact and get a response (shut it is a good one). No harm to try anything with the one you love.

Yes! Music can work miracles. Well done.

I was just going to post a similar comment.

When my husband " freezes " I can get him walking again by singing a "marching " tune.Present favourites are the Toreadors march from Carmen and the dads' army theme. He struts along happily !! I don't care if anyone thinks it odd - it makes us smile and it works !!

love, Jean x
