I wrote this song about my mother, Artelia Jeanette Scott. I had just finished recording it when
she passed away. It was written from her perspective and the questions that she asked
about this disease called Alzheimer. “ Did I know you?”
It is a devastating experience for anyone, I am sure when you lose your mother. We shared the
same body for nine months. We drank of the same water, ate the same food and shared the
same blood running thru our veins. You can do that with no one but a mother. That is a hard
one to let go. You lose a part of yourself and like my father once reminded me ...
“Your day is coming”. Will I suffer the same fate? I know how I felt when my mother did not recognize me, but what was she feeling? I share with you a part of her/our journey with this dreadful disease ...DID I KNOW YOU?
Won’t you join me in channeling positive energy and spreading the word about this terrible disease. Every year I donate a portion of the proceeds from this song for research and
promoting awareness of this disease . Please join me and make a contribution in my
mother’s name or someone you know suffering from this disease at http://www.alzfdn.org/?gclid=CLzl4NrdzakCFRJT7Aod6EkvNg
I share this with you because this disease needs to have more attention drawn to it.
It takes your memories when sometimes that is all you have left.

Even though NOVEMBER is considered Alzheimer month ...until there is a cure,
every month should be ALZHEIMER MONTH . Thank you for listening.
LYRICS - DID I KNOW YOU?
I see you looking at me
with a kind of need in your eyes
and I'm looking at you but taken so by surprise
because I don't recollect our meeting
I don't even know your name
Did I know you? and if I did Why don't I remember?
A sudden sensation in my body is trying to tell me
there's a connection between us
But I've no memory of us ever being together
not at this moment
not in my mind
And I can see the hurt in your eyes
Did I know you? and if I did Why don't I remember?
Is there a time in our lives
when the mind will only retain certain things
It won't give you a choice
to decide What will stay
What will go
Who you will know
And who you won't
Who you will love
And who your don't
Did I know you? Did I know you?
And if I did, why don’t I remember?
