Looking at the busker playing, he said: “I wish I could play a musical instrument. I think I would have started singing sooner than this.”
The busker said: “Oh well, it’s never too late.” The pensioner continued and told how he has been singing for his wife in the hospital. His wife has been diagnosed with dementia and he sings song for the entire ward every day.
He said: “Ah well it isn’t too late. I have just sung in the hospital this morning. My wife has been in hospital, she has got dementia, and she will never get better. I go up and see her every day.
"I go around singing in all the wards and the nurses say it’s good therapy for dementia. I would sing forever if you asked me to…So when I hear someone like you singing… well done, keep doing. Life is too short they say..music be the food of love, play on..”
And then as the busker starts singing again, she was left amused to hear the pensioner rhythming along with her. She then handed over the mic to him as he continued singing.
The pensioner sings Frank Sinatara My Way in his melodious voice.
