There is a fantastic cross-generational musical collaboration going on between Morris Croft aged 86 and 34-year-old Stacey Thornhill, both from the Forest of Dean. They were complete strangers prior to a chance encounter in a car showroom where they discovered a shared love of performing and singing. This has led to a firm friendship as well as a fundraising album, What a Wonderful World, which is raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society. The charity is very close to Morris’s heart because of his dearly loved wife Dorothy and her experience of Alzheimer\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The album features nine covers including \u2018What a Wonderful World\u2019, \u2018I Could Have Danced All Night\u2019 and \u2018We\u2019ll Meet Again\u2019, alongside one original song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Titled Confusion, Maurice based the song on a poem he discovered which he believes perfectly encapsulates Dorothy\u2019s dementia journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
