Vol. 76 “Me”- Gram Vitale

2014-02-22 190725  Pic 4 - Copy

I was fortunate enough to have my Gram in my life for 30 years.  What a treat, a joy and a most wonderful influence she was.   Meet Gram in this past installment, Volume 4 Click To Hear “American Ingenuity”

The last five years though were her slipping away…losing the battle to Alzheimers.  It’s 15 years ago this week I said good-bye.  Today I share the song I wrote for Gram “Me” that I penned back in 2003 and just finished recording this version.  I dedicate this song to everyone who has seen the devastation of Alzheimers and to everyone who is dedicated to finding a cure. Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Click To Hear “Me”

Me

Gotta face it alone
Can’t find my way home
Left to drift and to roam
It’s just pieces to me

And I can’t pretend to remember
What it is I’m lookin/livin/waitin for
And I can’t seem to find myself
In a song where I know the score
People I have know
And all the places I have been
They’re just a distant memory/melody
What is it that’s happened to me?

What’s waiting & where
No sense left to care
I’m in whose company
What’s happening to me

Through the thick muddied haze
Still a glory of days
To keep dignity
You took good care of me

Vol. 5 “Gram & Pap Flaherty”

Pic 1   Pic 2 Pic 3

This week my Maternal Grandparents, Jim & Mabel Flaherty, stroll us down the avenues where big things come to life from very little.

Having 7 kids and 13 grandkids there were gifts a plenty for all the Flaherties because Jim & Mabel gave what they could, to their Family, time and time again.

The Beatle’s sang “can’t buy me love” telling us that in some instances money is useless.  Jim & Mabel knew that long, long before the “Beatle Invasion”.

Next week…”The Neighborhood Crew”

Vol. 4 “American Ingenunity”-Gram & Pap Vitale

 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4

This week take a journey with my Paternal Grandparents who were small business owners, entrepreneurs and a whole lot more following World War II.

Their ability to thoughtfully manage their days and weeks created a wonderful environment for creativity, spontaneity, and pushing the boundaries just a little further at every opportune moment.

American Ingenuity and sweat equity made Frank & Teresa Vitale working class heroes having an amazing business and personal life full of wisdom, laughter and love.

Next week…”Gram & Pap Flaherty”
