been waiting all week for finally
--the first relatively quiet moment on this exciting site --
to reveal my story ----
about the good and bad parts of old age --- |-)
nobody here asked me ---but .........that never is any problem
lets get the bad stuff out of the way first-
so far - i have noticed only 2 old age problemos :
1. we p-ss slow --
like there is no such thing as a ' be right back --quick leak' --
might as well bring a book -- or better , A BOX !!!
2. my friends are dropping dead --at an accelerating rate -- yikes--
imagine - have a friend for 55 straight years --and then --its like no more :'-(
that sucks -and there is no cure or pill for them YET --
they are just GONZO !!
-----------------------------------
the good parts are way too many to tell --
so here is just ONE good old part --that relates to us right here ::
its having lived at a time when great music and superb musicians were so
accessible ---its almost unbelievable -when thinking back -
here ya go:
WAY back in the day --ONLY the beattles
ever played in stadiums or arenas-
all the artists i liked --and still do --were ALL like the friends from the corner
they played in small clubs and hotel ballrooms --
cover charges were just tiny token change --
and most places had no cover at all --
it was more like THEY NEEDED US FANS --
to fill the rooms and to go out and buy their records-
even the most popular --were very easy to meet , talk with --invited requests from the
audience --always--
i have a hundred examples -- just like this --
used to live in new york city - in 'the village'
100 yards from the clubs : village vanguard and village gate-
for - usually - no cover -and for the price of a beer --
had front row tables -
-to see john coltrane, herbie mann, miles davis, bave brubeck, etc, etc
ANY NIGHT i felt like it --and any weekend afternoon --
must have been there over 100 times
in the local hotels and bigger clubs
--there was always some good folks 'in town'--
saw sinatra, shirley bassey, the supremes , james brown.
ray charles -- PLENTY---
cant even remember any big waiting lines -
never bought a ticket in advance
so ----that was good
right ???
