... to ME !!! ... turned 77 today (did I just say 77 ?!? surprised ) ...
Not doing anything special on this rainy, windy Rhode Island day, but just spent a wonderful weekend with family from New Jersey ...
fortunately, despite about a dozen surgeries over the years, especially during the last 15, I am doing pretty darned good ... started back at the gym, lost a few pounds, got a bunch more to go, ... not sure what 77 is supposed to feel like, but this feels pretty good ... not an inkling of a thought of retiring from this wonderful avocation of music ...
I fully realize that life can change in a nano-second, but so far 'Life is good ... God is Great...'

party

Congrats, Tony. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. The 'good health' thing is the absolute BEST gift you could get for your birthday.

HB Tony! (Ditto Chas!) Keep on pushing. Glad you're feeling good enough to enjoy the things you do. I think a lot of us are in the same boat smile I couldn't wait to retire from the Chemical Sales world and happy to know there is no quit in this old/young guy in the music journey. Let's keep on until we drop smile smile

Happy Birthday Tony. I Hope I’ll still be an active musician like you when I’m 77. You’re an inspiration!

Thank you, Lady and Gents ...
I feel very fortunate to be able to do the things I can still do ... and hopefully even improve on that ...
I truly believe that if we continue with the activities we start at a young age, we will be able to perform them to a very acceptable level in our 'oldER' years ...
At the gym last week, I was watching some guys play basketball - the ages of the players was probably 40 to early 70s ... the guys in their late 60s and older were still banging it with the younger guys, and no doubt because they have been doing it since they were kids ...
I ran countless road races and the NY marathon three years between 1978 and 1982 ... I was running 60 to 70 miles a week ... I could eat and drink anything I wanted and was in great shape ... a couple of toe surgeries in '82 slowed me down as did some knee problems, but I still thought I could eat and drink anything I wanted ... obviously, it wasn't too long before I was no longer in 'good' let alone 'great' shape ... getting back has been an on and off (mostly off frown ) battle ever since ... but, I am back in the gym a couple of days a week, going for PT for this cranky back of mine, and we will see where it all takes me ...
in the meanwhile, I will try to please my audience with the best and most entertaining music I can produce ...

Thanks again for all the well wishes, and keep on keepin' on ... rocker

Wow, on my birthday today, I look in SZ Arranger Forum and there is a Happy Birthday topic! Oh, it wasn't for me! :-) :-0

Anyway, mine's today (Apr 17th) - it's my last year that I can say I'm in my 50s ... turning 59 today! I have a few more years ahead (maybe a couple of decades or so if I'm lucky?!) Only 1 more year 'til I can get some 60+ Senior Discounts! :-)

Happy Birthday to You (and me) ...

Jim
