We all dread becoming old and helpless. Or I do, anyway. So I'm very happy to help promote a new collection of musical memories entitled They Can't Take That Away From Me, which is being produced and sold in aid of Alzheimer charities. The editor, Jackie McGregor, is still collecting musical memories from writers and other celebrities, but the production schedule is hotting up now, because the book will be published this summer.
Why musical memories? Well, because love and appreciation of music tend to remain with us well into old age, and most dementia patients happily respond to their favourite tunes, even when the rest of their sensory perceptions are seriously impaired.
You can pre-order this book on Amazon's UK site now - http://www.amazon.co.uk/They-Cant-Take-That-Away/dp/1907726969/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1295011348&sr=8-3
