I was 80 on Feb 22nd...and I've been having a ball at the Lecanto, Fl. Citrus County Senior Center. Get a free ride there on Tuesday, Wed. and Thursday for a day of fun and frivolity, with a wide variety of activities, from cards to exercising to pool and ping-pong.

The old ladies if they're cool, take on some belly-dancing lessons after lunch...but I catch the bus back home at 1PM, that is when some start trying to throw out their hips...I make myself NOT watch that disaster waiting to happen...well, I guess they "do their belly thing in slow motion...at least I hope they do!

So, doing a little singing and guitar playing in a fun and educational way will be interesting...I'll just have to remember that being married to those 4 ex-wives...Enuff, already!

Using lots of Broadway tunes, sometimes with Band in the Box and Real Band. It will give me a chance to follow along with the "Great American Song Book" and lots of unique tunes from the Bistro Scene in NYC and Chicago.

Lot's of tunes, and I get to hone in on my soundalike singer the late great jazz singer Mel Torme. Also love the Sinatra tune and Benedetto (Bennet songs), etc.

I've had the privilege to get "weened" for decades on the top jazz female singers...love to run through some Diana Krall, Lena Horn, Peggy Lee, Lurlene Hunter, etc. ballads and uptempos! Some of the old seniors are "pretty hip", when it comes to those old uptempos and ballads.

Just will be a lot of Fun to bring back those ol' romantic "chestnuts" of the 40's,50's.60's..."Old ones and cold ones"..the jazz emphasis for the old swingers!!

And I have time for playin' some cards, ... "Texas Hold Em"...some 8-Ball pool, and some time for the computer lab, lunch and some mambo
italiano!! Just kidding!!
