YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis is part of the "THIS IS MY STORY" Project I'm interviewing the early Alzheimer's patients at the Stein Senior Center, telling me their story in 4 minutes and I give them the DVD.
Every week, I go to the Early Alzheimer's program at the Stein Senior Center in New York City and we have the "Schlockumentary Film Festival" I show my short films to the patients and I interview them and we share stories and there is a lot of laughter.
85 year old "Big Al" Foster plays piano in his 'new life' at the center. Al was the band leader at the Copa Cabana in the day. He wrote this song for Lena Horne, hopefully she will see it again. Al was introduced to Lena by his friend Martha Raye.
His friend Ishmael who is 96, never said a word all day until we were talking about Lena Horne and he just said, "I saw Lena Horne in Las Vegas"
