• "age appropriate"?... Elvis, Jerry Lee, Little Richard, Doo Wop, 60's classic rock... - musetap 09:05:24 03/18/15 (3)

  'cause 30 years ago "age appropriate" was 30's/40's big band, pop vocals, Mantovani, Guy Lombardo, et al. -
  the type of LPs thrift stores were stuffed with (and frequently still are).
  
  Can the facility use CDs?

    we had a turntable but it is no longer :( and THEN the activities staff divested themselves of ALL their old LPs (I think they *gasp* actually discarded them!!)

    you are dead on with the music type but on up thru classic rock of the 60's and early 70's ... this would target most of our demographic

    edited my original post to include the word "cd's" for clarification

    now if anyone wanted to donate a turntable we could also accept donations of lp's ... would have to be any easy to operate unit as most of the staff here is "technologically inept" unless it is an Apple product

    thx!

      I've been buying a lot of used duplicate CDs lately 'cause I haven't been able to pass up the
      great titles at low prices. Was going to give them to friends, but I think they will be heading to
      Stroudsburg PA in the very near future!
      
      
      You're doing a great thing - keep up the good work!!

        hopefully some others will do the same
        
        with so many music lovers going to hard drive storage I am hoping a number of people are willing to give up the little silver disc
        
        thank you again!!
