    Dad has dementia. Sometimes he drifts into another world and I feel like I’m losing him. He is never more present, however, than when he plays the piano. He came to mine today and I asked him to play one of his compositions. He thought he wouldn’t be able to remember it.pic.twitter.com/EQGcXBwB3w

        We’ve just found this. With lyrics by Pete Talman, ‘Where’s The Sunshine?’ was written for an original Imberhorne School (East Grinstead) production in the 1980s when dad was head of music and Pete was head of drama. It was a fantastic show. I remember it as if it were yesterday.pic.twitter.com/J1E8Gfv3dc

        Nick Harvey Retweeted Alzheimer's Society

        Hi @alzheimerssoc. Of course, feel free to use the video. I’ve an idea. How about (dad willing) we get him to record his piece on a nice grand in a nice hall with nice string players and then release it as a charity single for you?https://twitter.com/alzheimerssoc/status/1143041500424626176?s=21 …

        Nick, this is so wonderful! Very best wishes to you and your dad ❤️ Would you at all mind if we shared this on our own social media (with credit, of course)? We think it’d be really inspiring for our followers to see just how much music can offer someone living with dementia.

        Err, rather surreally, CBS News will be doing a piece on dad this morning. So, if you're in the States, you'll be able to watch it NATIONFUCKINGWIDE from around 8:50 am US Eastern Standard Time (I don't even know what that means).

        *thinking out loud* I wonder if the string players might also be old ex-professionals with dementia. Hmm.

        If my dad’s music has moved you over the past few days, please consider making a quick donation to @alzheimerssoc. They do so much to help people living with dementia, and every donation really does make a difference. Thank you. xhttps://bit.ly/2XacBqJ

        He was a fine pianist back in the day but has recently lost all feeling in the little finger of his right hand. He gets so frustrated when he stumbles over notes.
