Please do watch and listen to ‘Hanging up my Christmas Stocking’ – Lyrics by James McKillop from Alumni and music by Calum McNab from Ceartas Advocacy .
A bit of the background story from James:
” To put you in the picture, I composed some songs (words and music) some years ago. But I cannot sing or play an instrument, so I was unable to let people know how it sounded, especially as I do not have, a slightly decent recording device, except for a reel to reel tape recorder, which I cannot access.
I got in touch with Michelle from Ceartas. To cut long story short, I sent her the words, as she thought a friend would add music and record it. So it happened. Yes, you can share it in any way you like, as it is freely available on You Tube.
Since early 2000, I believed people with dementia can be creative, and have always wanted some researcher to investigate creativity. There should even be, a Minister of Creativity.
There is a tsunami of creativity from PWD in all forms, out there. Let’s tap Into it.” December 2020
