After Spending years visiting many family members in Nursing Homes, VA Hospitals and other simular places, my eyes have certainly been opened to the Saddest state of affairs I believe anyone can bare... Loneliness. While taking care of my life long Friend, whom I always called my Brother for the last year of his life I did my best to make sure, if nothing else, he knew he was NOT alone. For, to be left alone & ignored, I believe, is one of the worst places to be.
Shortly after his death I attempted to put my thoughts on this subject into words and added Music, in an attempt to make it more pleasant. I am NOT a Musician by any stretch, I just tinker around with my Banjo and try to express myself with my simple Music.
This Video is NOT intended to express, in any way , My Banjo Playing abilities, which I know are Terrible but rather to simply try my best to express my feeling about Lonliness, as I have seen it through the eyes of so many Seniors who have Fallen Through the Cracks and been forgotten, in some cases by their own Families. My Lyrics are a sad reflection of the many Lonely Faces I have looked into and simply can never forget. I pray I will NOT become one of them.
It's a sad, yet true reflection on our society and a subject that I so wish I could do more to help resolve.
Final Note: I do NOT sing, but ask that you sing or Please just read along with the Lyrics of my Song and if you'd like, tell me what you think. Thank You for taking the time to watch. Godspeed, DanO'
