Choir Conductor Anton Armstrong - When Memory Fades - A Story about his Mother

Conductor Anton Armstrong has a particularly strong connection to one song the renowned St. Olaf Choir shared at each performance on its 2020 tour. “When Memory Fades,” written by Jayne Southwick Cool and arranged by Eric Nelson, deals with the subject of memory loss.

What a wonderful story you shared about your mom... I lost mine five years ago. Blessings to you and your family this holiday season.

We're sorry for your loss, Brenda, and we're glad you enjoyed Dr. Armstrong's story. Wishing you a blessed holiday, also!

That was powerful, Anton.
I walked with you through every word you spoke,
Having met Mrs. Armstrong some 50 years ago, I vividly remember her as my friend's mother who brought a touch of sweetness into my life. I don't need to tell you that you are a blessed son. You've made your parents proud, Boy.

Thank you for sharing that, Anton. This song - as St Olaf Choir sings it - has become precious to me recently as my wife and I continue to care for her 106-year-old mother in our home.
