Aches and pains...NO BACH FOR YOU

April 10, 2009 15:21

Old age? Me?? Life is fairly routine , now retired. Arise, coffee, avoid the TV news cause nothing good ever exists, listen to some music, more coffee, shower etc. then the violin and viola fun for about three to four hours. Bach and scales every morning.

So, why when I put the Millant to chin is my left shoulder in agony? Never has this ever been a thought much less a reality.Hmmmm, I try it again...pain. I'm no cry baby but it really hurts.

Then I think, what did I do to deserve this. Ah yes, I changed the snow tires yesterday afternoon. Yet another reason to hate winter.

RADIO...does anybody listen anymore?

As a lad, I received this marvelous new invention, a FM radio. Wow, how it expanded the bleak horizon which was up until that time limited to the scratchy local AM stations. Now, the world of music and information in general was brought so much closer...and you young pups think the iPod changed the world?

Many a late night I would hold my ear close to the speaker so Mom and Dad would not hear and squelch the likes of Seymour DeKoven and Jean Shepherd

those were the days...
