It has taken me a long time to enjoy the creative process. Self doubt and self criticism and, I suppose, a smidge of self hatred has always created fear and frustration.
Blogging and Music have been the arenas where I go to battle with these issues as I made a commitment to live truer to my goofy self and try to do things that I think would be fun to do regardless of the quality of outcome.
I wrote a little tune recently about that terrible disease, Alzheimer’s, from two different perspectives. Here is a video of me trying to sing that song. And, after watching the video, I am now going to go and pluck two hairs that are growing on the edge of my ear! Growing old baby, you gotta love it!
What is your name, I like your face, did I know you in some other place
You touch my hand, tears in your eyes, You call me daddy, I don’t know why
I’m falling, falling away, falling from you, falling from me, I’m falling from yesterday
Look in my face, do you know my name, we were married, on a summer’s day
Look what we’ve done, this is our home, but living with you, I’m living alone
He’s falling, falling away, falling from you, falling from me, falling from yesterday
Such a good song, and so is the minstrel sharing his emotions and masterful lyrics. 👏

Thank you Laura! I missed a couple of notes, but what’s that between friends, huh? Keeping it real.

I don’t pay attention to missed notes when enjoying a good song, so between friends always keep it real. 😊

Poignant reality for too many, a sad disease. 💔

I guess most of us have seen it up close at one time or another and it is painful and so sad.

Wonderfully sung, Gary. You hit those high tender notes…….and I liked the hat and the image. The new lean, singing machine.
