There is a community I visit that gives me the keys to the castle. I walk in and am greeted warmly by the receptionist who gives me a wristband key and waves me past the sign in process. I wheel my gear cart through several doors , using the wristband to unlock each one, and then finding the elevator to the lower level. Another few waves of my wrist and I'm in the heart of the building for my memory care show. It smells like snickerdoodles. Residents are lounging in comfy sleepy looking chairs , one staff member is painting the nails of a resident. I set up in my usual spot and sing and play and match the vibe with soft soothing songs....
Sunshine on my shoulders
Somewhere over the rainbow
I'll see you in my dreams..
The whole show is soft, easy, and flowing from one song into the other as I don't get much of a reaction EVER from this crowd. I end with a few favorites including 'Puff the Magic Dragon' and 'I can see clearly now'. Then I pack up my gear and give everyone a warm goodbye to each resident. Then I make my way back through locked doors, up the elevator, and back out the door to my truck. I never once saw the director or had any staff member talk to me except the receptionist.
This is a good sign. This means that a community knows you well and knows you do a great show that doesn't need supervision. When you find yourself doing a show without much interaction with staff-don't worry. They TRUST you. Do your best for them and lead with love❤️❤️❤️
