On Tuesday 11-28-23 I played for residents at a Memory Care Unit. I had an experience that had never happened before. I have permission to post this video from their facility. You will see the lady come up to me and talk while I am playing. I know her personally and knew her family. She told me she love me and wanted a kiss. Well, I had to pass on the kiss part. It is joy to play some music for them.

[Steve Spitz]

Really great moment there, and your playing is spectacular.
Thanks , I enjoyed this for so many reasons.

[Paul King]

Thank you Steve. At first I was not sure how to respond but started talking to her. I can tell you she has always been a sweet lady.

[Gil James]

Always enjoy your performances Paul, what a great sound you get there. Our Gospel group visits 3 nursing home facilities in our area every week. I can relate to your experience! Kinda hard to concentrate sometimes,lol. But it's always a blessing for us and them, and we always leave with smiles on our faces.

[Paul King]

Thank you Gil. It is nice to see their smiling faces.

[John Palumbo]

That was so nice Paul, really enjoyed it!

[Paul King]

Thank you John.

[Larry Dering]

Nice Paul. I'm happy to see that for the elderly. Thank you.

[Paul King]

My pleasure to play for them Larry.

[Larry Jamieson]

Very nice, Paul. I always enjoy your music. It is difficult to play and carry on a conversation... Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

[Paul King]

Thank you Larry. It is difficult to play and carry on a conversation. I know this lady but with Alzheimers she does not remember who I am.

[Jack Stanton]

Nice that you're doing that, Paul. Proof once again that the steel guitar is a chick magnet.

[Paul King]

Thank you Jack.
