Music and Memory program connects seniors with their past

SOUTH BEND, Indiana - Before he puts on his headphones, Barnabia Jones, 94, sits still in his wheelchair and doesn't have much to say when he's asked a question. When the music begins to flow into his headset, however, the Healthwin resident becomes almost another person. He closes his eyes, begins tapping his feet, and starts moving around in his wheelchair, dancing. The music clearly provides him a sense of joy.
