While looking on the Internet for the lyrics to the song Goody Goody I found this web site. Steve rapidly sent me the lyrics by email. However, when he found the lyrics were for an old lady with dementia of my acquaintance who loved the song and repeatedly sang it he put together a wonderful gift and sent it to her. Not only did he record some of the song's numerous releases on cassette tape, he also sent the music sheet and many copies of various artists who recorded the song (which I put into a file) and a CD of Johnny Mercer songs. I took the gift to the lady at a day centre she attends. When the tape was played not only did 'my' lady sit and sing the song over and over again, another lady joined in she remembered the song too. The tone for the day was set, even the staff and volunteers were walking around singing Goody Goody! Everyone went through the file seeing who they remembered. Every one enjoyed listening to the tape. One man sat tapping his foot and hands along with it and another old lady was obviously put into the singing mood and after the tape was turned off she started singing old songs that she remembered, it turned into quite a sing song with everyone singing. Steve - I really don't know how to thank you for your kindness and can only hope that the knowledge that you not only gave an old lady a wonderful gift that she will treasure rewards you over and over again - you also brightened up the day for more than one person. Many Thanks.
