This moving video has made the rounds before. But it stays with you. One of my Grandmas had Parkinson's disease and spent 20 years in a room, trapped with the television and her memories and occasional visits from the youngest of the grandchildren, with whom she lived. God only knows what she did with the rest of her time.
But when it's my turn.....
Please
Play me old Pink Floyd. Especially: Echoes; Careful With That Axe, Eugene; Granchester Meadows; Julia Dream; all of Ummagumma and, of course, the Last Gig In The Sky. But especially Echoes. And bring me a big, fat, smelly joint. You will see an old, doddery, helpless and seemingly hopeless creature weep with pure joy. Thank you.
