Mary is continuing to be a little more awake these days. She is just about to start on a research programme (ever inquistive!) run by a music therapist at Putney called Julian.
Julian has asked for suggestions of music tracks which would be well known to Mary which she would either love or hate. These will be used to see if they can signal more or less of a response from her.
So if you have one or two tracks that you know Mary knows well and either loves or hates feel free to post them up here as comments. Please include song title, artist and Mary's preference.
For example 'If you want to Sing Out, Sing Out' by Cat Stevens (loves)
And if you don't know that track I recommend you look it up as a little message from Mary for you today!
"Love Will Tear Us Apart Again" by The Joy Division, Nouvelle Vague cover (Loves).
ReplyDeleteAlso "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak, which she performed beautifully at Kenny's Castaways in NYC, and "One" by Harry Nilsson.
ReplyDeleteAny version of "Lean on Me" - a long-standing tradition at the Brent-Eton Summer School. Probably best not sung by the staff there... She always sang with gusto so I guess she loves it!
