THE SONGAMINUTE MAN

The Songaminute Man 
My dad was a singer throughout his life - 
he was a Butlin's Redcoat and then travelled around singing in clubs around the country. 
He worked in a factory after he got married and still did a bit of singing on side. 
His nickname is The Songaminute Man - 
simply because of how many songs he knows. 
 In the last few years his memory has deteriorated a lot - often not recognising family. 
 However, now when we've got him singing again he's back in the room. It's these moments that we treasure.  The plan is to share as much of Dad's singing as we can and hopefully it will help raise money to fund the work of the Alzheimer's Society - more specifically to go towards paying for a person at the end of the phoneline to help other people like us.

I'M NOT GONNA MISS YOU

Legendary singer and songwriter Glen Campbell has been battling Alzheimer’s disease for years, and is now in the final stages of the disease. Campbell has been moved to 24-hour care, as his doctors have determined that he is in the sixth stage of Alzheimer’s (‘severe cognitive decline”).
It has been nearly two years since Campbell has performed in public — however, as a farewell to his music career, Campbell’s record label has released his final studio recording.
His final ballad is called “I’m Not Gonna Miss You.” The melody is somber and contemplative, but the lyrics show Campbell’s ability to find irony in his disease. 
I dedicate this song to my mum- BEE~ who has lived with alzheimer's for over 
13 years now and still  going strong. i love you bee.
