Alzheimer's Stole His Music Until A Kind Pianist Gave It All Back
December 27, 2017
For Steve, the part that hurts the most is losing the music.
Steve is a software developer who loves to play the piano. For most of their marriage, Steve has written Joanie songs, not just a little diddy but fully composed masterpieces. Those songs are a piece of who Steve is and sadly they are a piece that Alzheimer’s is trying to take away. The idea of losing these songs to this awful disease brings Joanie to tears. credit: youtube.com So when Steve sat down and tried to play some of the songs by memory and the songs stopped coming this couple knew they needed to do something. Steve had never bothered to write the songs down, since no one prepares for Alzheimer’s to come knocking. That’s when their friend Naomi who happens to be a pianist stepped in to help. credit: youtube.com For the past 2 years, Naomi has worked to piece together and save Steve’s songs. The songs are now recorded so that they will never truly be lost. But the best part of all is that through the clouds of memory loss, Steve was able to write a new song with Naomi’s help. And when you hear it you’ll be reaching for the tissues. credit: youtube.com It is no wonder that the world is becoming captivated by Steve and Joanie’s story.
