It is know that music can bring back lost memories for Alzheimer's patients. As always all comments welcome. Keep safe. Rob4580 My Love My Wife My Friend Im one day late and one dollar short. I cant remember the things I ought. Im last in line I feel a little bit strange. I cant go home co's I missed the last train. I struggle a touch to remember her name I cant believe these things keep happening to me. ------------------------------------------- When the music plays I see her face again. My love my wife companion and good friend. ------------------------------------------- You know your bound to get it right some time. You know I like to walk in the sun shine I took on life gave it all I had Some times good but mostly bad And regret the times I seemed to make her cry Got a hot bowl of soup but Im using a fork. Im all alone with nothing but thoughts. Still cant believe these things are happening to me Five-string fiddle plays a unique pizzicato part in this mountain folk Americana RealStyle. Two identical acoustic guitars play together with the same-but-different feature, strumming with accents on the offbeat. Acoustic bass alternates between the root and fifth with attacks on the beat. This song is in the key of C (D)and uses major, minor, and diminished chords. These chords change every 1 to 4 beats. **** Song Summary ********* Title: My Love My Wife File:My Love My Wife My Friend .SGU Key=E , Tempo 70, Length (m:s)=3:25 4 bar intro, 52 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 56.

I saw part of a documentary about Glen Campbell. He did not know where he was, the year, or other ordinary things, but MAN he could still play and sing.....start the program and it came right out! Enjoyed this tune!! Take care. Greg

Many years ago, I too wrote a song about Alzheimers. So was very interested to hear your musical thoughts. It's much different from my song ... but a stellar song. This very well-written. An uplifting song about a horrible disease. My mother and former mother-in-law where shackled by its clutch. I can relate. Maybe I'll rerecord mine sometime in the future and post it. As always, loved your vocal. Great job in all respects. wishing you and yours the very best. be safe ... Alan Last edited by Al-David; 05/26/20 03:41 PM.
