As of this moment in time, The Fates’ video of Skyscraper has had over 52,000 views. This is really wonderful. Thanks to all of my fans for passing it on. The Fates have a new video which will go up in the next few days. They are really starting to get some momentum. I am obviously very, very excited for them. They will be outselling me in no time at this rate! Beau may be joining me on stage in Boston.
Over the next few months I will be speaking about Dementia. It is what I consider to be one of the main obstacles for the largest percentage of the population who are baby boomers. I don’t want my son or your children to have to go through what I’ve been though with my mother. It is one of those uncomfortable things that none of us want to think about, or talk about, because it has to do with our own mortality and that we will become unable to take care of ourselves at some point.
For me, I think it is terribly important; having it affected my life so significantly, that I try and bring as much attention to it as possible. To try and bring awareness to some of the ways in which we can prepare ourselves and to make sure our children are not left to deal with it. I am trying to raise people’s awareness as to what the experience is like. My interest is to assist our generation, to let them know there are things they can do. It is heart breaking to watch someone you love with Dementia.
In the near future, I am doing a public service announcement which will go to air and some private speaking events to hopefully make people aware of the problem of Dementia. This subject is very close to me. I encourage you all to learn more and, if possible, donate to the The Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation.
Much love,
David.
