04:35 until my mom fell ill.
04:41 ♪ Have yourself a merry little Christmas now ♪
04:46 Dementia set in.
05:10 My mom had to go be admitted to the place
05:13 that she actually worked at.
05:15 I was there a lot.
05:18 And she would doze off
05:25 and then I would just kinda bounce
05:27 into another person's room,
05:29 someone that I knew or someone that I would see there
05:31 all the time, and just sing a song.
05:39 And watch 'em just kinda melt.
05:41 And watch their expressions.
05:45 My whole perspective changed.
05:50 I said, "I'm gonna go 100 miles an hour with this.
05:56 "I'm gonna go big."
05:59 Why would they not deserve it?
06:03 (phone ringing)
06:06 How y'all doing?
06:13 I missed y'all.
06:16 Yeah, is that too loud for ya?
06:19 It's too loud, you're too old, man.
06:20 That turned into such a positive thing
06:24 that I wanted to do it at different places.
06:27 I went into a phone book,
06:33 I started calling people.

07:52 To live in a nursing home
08:03 when they've lived all their lives in their homes
08:06 and were self-sufficient and took care of themselves
08:10 and then to have somebody else take care of them,
08:13 it's gotta be a downer.
