The Songaminute Man

A Tribute to the Unbreakable Bond Between Father and Son

De: Simon McDermott

Narrado por: Simon McDermott

A powerful and emotional memoir about family and memory from the father-son singing sensation whose heartwarming carpool karaoke video took social media by storm.

At first, Simon’s beloved father, Ted, suffered sudden bad moods and forgetfulness. Then the diagnosis: Alzheimer’s.

Ted was disappearing from the family, but Simon wanted to hold on to him. While music could bring him back temporarily—the video of the two of them singing along to Ted’s favorite song was a hit around the world—Ted could no longer tell his story.

This is that story.

The Songaminute Man is the heartbreaking, poignant tale of vanishing family memories, a celebration of Ted’s life and a moving account of caring for a truly loved father.

A great story

I had hoped he would include some previously unaired singing by his dad. Still, it was good to hear about Ted's life from childhood through adulthood.
