It may be possible that he struggles much more with everyday tasks etc but music and performing are less of a problem. I'd assume they take it day by day assessing what he's up for. I guess this is all possible Im just a lil surprised cuz although alzheimers can progress and manifest in different ways in different ppl one very common thing among all sufferers is that short term memory tends to be one of the first things to be affected So although he may have a natural ability with music the part of memorizing a new performance set i would have imagined would be difficult Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of elderly might have forgotten daily grocery stuffs, people's name and faces, or confused the time of the day, but when they do their hobbies, like card games or knitting, they're like a normal person, and still very good at it.

I guess what makes this a bit different is that hobbies like card games or knitting if u learned a long time ago is hardwired into ur long term memory how to do it... Performing and rehearsing a new performance would still involve new memory to learn a new routine regardless of him being passionate so thats the part that surprises me. A lot of it is an old skill but the part of memorizing a new routine still involves new memory Dont get me wrong tho, its lovely to see hes still so capable and perhaps not as far gone as it came across when his illness was revealed. Im just surprised is all im saying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
