Kenny Chesney has teamed up with Music and Memory, a non-profit group that's collecting iPods for senior citizens who suffer from dementia. The goal is to supply people afflicted with Alzheimer's with portable music players.
Numerous studies suggest that music can help people suffering from Alzheimer's recover long lost thoughts.
For instance, a video at the Music and Memory website shows a sedate elderly patient named Henry spring to life upon hearing music of his childhood. He even remembers lyrics from some of the tunes.
Chesney recorded a Public Service Announcement for the group urging fans to donate money or a music player to the non-profit. Each player is personalized with the help of family to include songs that were favorites of their loved ones.
