 When I think of my current age, a bottle of Heinz ketchup comes to mind - yikes...! The good news is that I rarely think about my age. The better news is that I celebrate every day that I wake up ... :) I'm reminded of a song I grew up with - one of Mom's favorites. Here are the lyrics that ring true for me: Oh well I guess I'm doin' fine It's been so long now and it seems that It was only yesterday Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away. This week I'm featuring the same "old, new, borrowed and blue" song - let me know which rendition you prefer. I'm leaving out some other covers as I remain true to the theme of this Musical Intermission. Something Old: Willie Nelson wrote this iconic song in 1961 (a special year for me!) - performed by many of the greats over the years... Something New: Pretty cool to hear Willie's son, Lukas, give us his version...! This young man's voice gives me the chills in the best of ways. Something Borrowed: A woman's touch on this song ... if you haven't heard of Dorothy Moore, give her a listen. You'll be ever so glad you did! Something Blue: BB King is the "King of the Blues" to me - let's let him finish up this set for us... :) ShoutOutsUntil next "G" - week, be peaceful and happy, mar

Hello mar - Come to find out that time is not the only thing that slips away. Listening to a couple of the renditions. Oh, Happy Heinz day. Love this song and the different versions of it. Of course, my favorite would be Willie's version. Yes, it is funny how time slips away. Time is really flying by faster every year. Hope that your birthday was a blast and that your celebration continues every day of the year. Love you.

Maria.....Oh my goodness, girlfriend. Love the songs.....very moving. Although memories are mostly pleasurable, often they bring up the sense of loss that the passing of time creates. I try to make certain my particular mood and frame of mind at any given moment, is strong enough to take that stroll down memory lane. I've spent so much of my life and my energies, pushing myself to go forward, in spite of an occasional heavy heart, I dare not tempt myself by focusing on how "time" has truly slipped away.

Hi Mar... First off Happy Birthday and all that great stuff. Love the sound of Willy, always have. He came north years ago and I was in charge of his security while he visited. Very interesting man and a man with such a heartwarming love of his craft and life... 11/28/2018 05:00:55 pm
