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.

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

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
