Our number was 370J (J indicated a party line). Later got a private line, it was 270. Mother's number at the bank was 9! Post Office was 7. My aunt was the chief operator. You picked up the phone and she said "number please" and you would tell her the number. Sometimes when I called the bank, she would say something like "Donny, your mom is over at the drug store, call her later!"

were the last generation of the old and the new together enjoy it while it lasts

Old tune but says it all.

Great song, Chas.

I try to never use written lyrics from a laptop, tablet, phone, postcard...whatever.

That's because, if you are doing a tune, you need to put your stamp on it. If you're scrambling for the chords and words, you have little time to own the material.

Another thing: I have a stack of cards in my case; some 20 years old. they each have changes and lyrics for a song I intended to learn, but, because I have the "crutch" available, I never really learned the tune.

Interpretation is everything.

Gary I have decided that at 85 I have the right to be crazy, silly, happy, or even a little sad if I wish.

Seniors years can be very special enjoyable years if you do not allow other’s opinions in. Who we are is what we have already done and I am proud of most of what I have done. From where I am standing you done over and beyond in your life.

OK, there I go again preaching, sorry. Preaching comes easy when you have lived long and have experienced .

Gary, my wife says the same thing about me......well, not the 'savant' part .
