I do identify with this song. I am 67 years old, and feel like I'm 97. I'm facing neck surgery in January, and will be out of commission for a few months or so. I love the song, keep me in your prayers!!

when aging + dealing with illness, sometimes all you can do is either laugh or cry - and this song helps to laugh instead of cry

Gary,
where are you from? Sounds like an Australian voice though it could be a Nu Zilund accent as well - that ones hard to detect in song.
The blues is cool - senior shuffle is always a good place for a laugh.
The vocals are pretty good, there's almost no sibilance and no age whistle.
Good one.
Cheers

Don't laugh this could be YOU in the future. Hell this is me now!
I love the blues and you nailed this! I liked your style and your mix. Your vocal is very strong.

Great sounding blues, BIAB really covers that genre well and you fit in just right. I got neck fusion coming up in early 2020, welcome to the club. Hope they do us right. Keep playing the blues, it keeps you young!

Greetings from 'over the ditch " rayc,
I am a born and bred and proud New Zealander.
I noted you said I had " almost no sibilance "
Thank God for that, what ever it is I don't think there is a cure for it.
Stay safe over there,
Gazza

Greetings Deryk-PG Music,
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and listen to my song.It is much appreciated.
I didn't start writing songs until I was 68yo.
I woke up one morning and wanted to write a song.
Now I can't stop. I have written over 30 songs in the last 10 years.
Geriatric Blues was written in September 2018.
All the songs I have written have topics and they are all in different genres.They have all been arranged using my BIAB program.
I have very limited knowledge of both music and operating my BIAB program.
I have not done anything with my songs.
I don't know where to start.
Cheers,
Gary Thom

Hi Gazza, if I'm not all wrong in this forum us old farts are overrepresented to a high degree ;-))) So we all know exactly what you're singing about. Great lyrics, great blues, great vocals - I really love that tune a lot. Not laughing, just moaning a bit as I move my chair ;-))) Take care, Stefan PS: Had a song / video posted here last year that deals with the same subject: Nothing's Easy Anymore
