Lewy Body Dementia Advocate Mary Lou Falcone

My guest today is Mary Lou Falcone, author of the book, “I Didn’t See It Coming: Scenes of Love, Loss and Lewy Body Dementia”. In this memoir, Mary Lou takes readers on a freeing journey of caregiving that is filled with hope, laughter, and tears, making stops along the way for music, romance, and surprises.

Written to inspire and give hope, Mary Lou unflinchingly shares in detail her late husband’s struggle with LBD, providing informative, compassionate, and inspiring insights into dementia.

Mary Lou Falcone is an internationally known classical music publicist/strategist. Who for 50 years has helped guide the careers of celebrated artists from Van Cliburn to James Taylor – and advised many institutions including Carnegie Hall, and symphonies and orchestras from Los Angeles to Chicago to New York as well as the Vienna Philharmonic.

I would like to shine a light on Mary Lou’s late husband, Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Zann. He was the inspiration for her book. He was a popular 1950s rock ’n’ roll musician who became a world-renowned cartoonist, illustrator, and painter.

His work hangs in the permanent collection of London’s Victoria & Albert Museum, and the illustrations featured throughout her book come from his bestselling fortune-telling card game The Answer Deck. https://maryloufalcone.com
