I help out at a dementia group with my guitar and meagre singing talent, trying to distract folk from their troublesome journey into older age. Tony still has a has a lot of singing ability, and it's a real pleasure to help him re-discover the front man that's still in there... it's just a little lost, these days. I get huge pleasure from singing with him, and I'd love to be able to step back in time and see him and the band in their prime.
