ABOUT THIS ALBUM


Album Notes
This song," The Long Goodbye", is about my family’s experience with Alzheimer’s. My dad was diagnosed in 2005 and passed away on Sept 26th 2010. I wrote the song looking through my mother’s eyes and tried to put her thoughts and experiences into words. She took care of him up until the day he passed, never wanting to put him into a nursing home. Anyone who has gone through this experience can certainly relate to this song." The Long Goodbye" is available for purchase with 100% of the proceeds supporting Alzheimer’s research and assistance on the national and local level through the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. Please consider purchasing this song so together we can help put an end to this terrible disease. More information can be found on my band’s website, www.cherrypie.org , or at www.alzwisc.org. Thank you for your time and GOD BLESS.

Excellent - Touches the soul
This songs is a great expression of what families and friends go through when a loved one is living with Alzheimer's . I encourage everyone to spread the word about this wonderful composition so that the Alzheimer's Foundation of America can benefit from the proceeds of the sale of The Long Goodbye. It is well worth the $1.99 donation to support such a worthwhile cause.

Beautiful song................John's voice can bring anyone to tears but this song really does it! I can relate a bit since my grandmother died after years of suffering with Alzheimers.
