Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The nostalgic memoir of a young man, eldest of fourteen, growing up in 40s Wednesbury. The heartbreaking true account of his son struggling to come to terms with his fathers dementia. A tribute to the unbreakable bond between father and son. When Simon McDermott first noticed his dad Teds sudden flares of temper and fits of forgetfulness, he couldnt have guessed what lay ahead. Then came the devastating, inevitable diagnosis. As Ted retreated into his own world, Simon and his mum Linda desperately tried to reach him until at last: an idea. Turning the ignition in his mums little runaround, Simon hit play on Teds favourite song Quando Quando Quando. And like that, they were just two mates driving around Blackburn, singing at the top of their lungs.Simon filmed their adventure, uploaded the video to YouTube and woke up to messages, tweets and his phone ringing off the hook. Their carpool karaoke had gone viral all the way across the globe.But a record deal, Pride of Britain Awards, over 130,000 raised for The Alzheimers Society and a Top 10 single later, Simon was still losing Ted. Thats when he made a decision. His Dad the storyteller of his childhood and his best friend couldnt tell his own story, so Simon would tell it for him. This is that story.Set in the heart of the Black Country just before WWII, and written with the help of Teds friends and family, The Songaminute Man recalls a boy who became a gutsy and fiercely loyal man. It remembers a childhood of sleeping top-to-toe, rationing, adventure in the woods and making-do-and-mending, a close-knit community, and a life-long passion for music.Full of poignant moments, the ups and downs of family life and treasured memories, The Songaminute Man is a story of two halves: a celebration of the man Ted was, and a powerful and moving account of caring for a loved one. The nostalgic memoir of a young man, eldest of fourteen, growing up in 40s Wednesbury. The heartbreaking true account of his son struggling to come to terms with his fathers dementia. A tribute to the unbreakable bond between father and son. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780008232627
