I turn the big Half-Century today

I enjoyed playing songs reminiscent of my youth, i.e., high school and college years, e.g., Beach Boys classics and "hell-icopter music" (Vietnam War-era rock, a la Apocalypse Now, like Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky). Dug it then, dig it now.

Congratulations, Subaruguru !

Here is my musical list covering the topics of time, birthdays, and the state of mind from seeing 50 years on this planet pass by.

"Wow" Kate Bush ( Lionheart )

"Old Man" Neil Young ( Harvest )

"Don't Give Up" Peter Gabriel ( So )

"Birthday" The Beatles ( White album )

"Nick of Time" Bonnie Raitt ( Nick of Time )

"I Won't Grow Up" Rickie Lee Jones ( Pop Pop )

"I Knew You When" Linda Rondstant ( Get Closer )

"Lesson In Survival" Joni Mitchell ( For the Roses )

"Time is On My Side" The Rolling Stones ( Greatest )

"Oh Bury Me Not" Johnny Cash ( American Records )

Hope some of these fit into your celebration of birth, life and music.

Happy Birthday Ernie. And welcome to geezertime. When I turned 50-- over 9 years ago, I might have listened to Jerry Lee Lewis "Great Balls of Fire"-- seems like that was "just the other day". Also, at 50 "Whole Lotta' Shakin" Goin On", and "Breathless" take on a whole new meaning;>) I don't know if Diana was breathing in ears then or not, but I would have gotten quite a charge out of it if she had;>)

Lately I've been enchanted by Jacintha's XRCD2 "Autumn Leaves"-- the songs of Johnny Mercer, but if you don't care for Diana K., you may not like Jacintha either. Still, this is the best CD I've ever heard in my system. Cheers. Craig.

Happy Birthday-Ernie.
Forever Young-Bob Dylan-the scratchy Biograph demo version is best imho.
Tonight listen to something old that reminds you of happy times and something current you enjoy and also something to share with your better half........tomorrow however go out and buy something new,something that perhaps challenges your taste or alternatively some new band you think you might like-it'll help keep you young.

All the best. Play anything that brings a smile to your face or a tear to your eye.....they can never tax the memories....in Canada memories are one of the few things that are HST free, eh?
