Music and memory - The Mum Mix Tape
Andrew finds that music is one of the few ways that he can help Mum access her memories as the dementia worsens. Her feet begin to tap and she often moves her hands in time to the music. How much she remembers it's impossible to say, but each week they listen together to music with meaning. In this edition of the diary Andrew goes through Mum's records, putting together a mix tape of musical memories. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio Leeds.
