joe writes a song dedicated to Dementia sufferers...

1.1.18

I was really taken about a year ago by a facebook post which was supposedly based on an old man in Australia- I think.  In which, there was a fabulously moving poem titled 'The cranky old man'.

After some research I found out that it was originally written by a Scottish lady and the poem was called the 'Crabbit old woman' - but the sentiment and power of the message is the same. And then seeing videos of dementia sufferers brought 'back to life' by someone singing a song or getting them to dance, just inspired me to want to write something about these people, who were all -great, once within their own lifetime, which now this cruel disease leaves just a shell of that person.
