\n Glenburnie Lodge Care Community in Wenvoe, part of Dormy Care Communities, has published what it claims is the UK\u2019s first interactive book of musical memories – Magical Musical Memories – featuring songs and stories from residents across five care homes.\n<\/p>\n
\n Joan Thomas, home director at Glenburnie Lodge, said: “We are thrilled to have been able to produce this book showcasing the musical memories of the ladies and gentlemen from Glenburnie Lodge.\n<\/p>\n
\n “From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the ways in which music has shaped who we are and the moments that have defined us.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Music has the unique ability to transport us back to a specific time and place, stirring up memories that we may have long forgotten and through the recollections of these wonderful people, these memories will now live on forever.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The book features favourite songs and personal stories from residents at Glenburnie Lodge and four other Dormy Care homes: Brockington House in Hereford, Pine Martin Grange in Wareham, Bramshott Grange in Liphook, and Foxhunters in Abergavenny.\n<\/p>\n
\n Each song is accompanied by a QR code, allowing readers to listen to the track on YouTube using their smartphone.\n<\/p>\n
\n Selections range from classical composers like Mozart and Beethoven to modern artists such as Queen, Tom Jones, and Cyndi Lauper.\n<\/p>\n
\n Personal stories include Peter and Diana Andrews\u2019 choice of Cyndi Lauper\u2019s True Colour, the “anthem” of a road trip to the USA in the 1980s.\n<\/p>\n
\n Vera Webber recalls seeing Frank Sinatra perform live in Las Vegas, while Lily Greaves chose You are my Sunshine, a song she sang to her beloved pet dog.\n<\/p>\n
\n The book is priced at \u00a315, with Glenburnie Lodge selecting a local charity to receive a donation from some of the proceeds.\n<\/p>\n
