There is a lot of research that using music with hospice and dementia patients accesses a part of their memory and brains which is very powerful. I always ask patients what music they like to listen to and try to include that in the playlist that I bring to visit them.
Clearly this changes with each person you visit, and I do have a few that I play for almost everyone like "Amazing Grace" and "To My Old Brown Earth". I also include Unitarian Universalist Hymns when I am visiting people from our denomination.
Here is how I manage my Favorites Folder in Youtube:
1) Login into Youtube
2) Search for an Artist or a Song you like and think the patient might like
3) When you find an arrangement of a song that you like click on the icon second from the rightunder the video screen with the horizontal lines and + sign:
This screen will appear and you can either add to a current play list of the last option is "+ Create New playlist":
