OT: Forevermore is Shorter than Before

[Huskygamble19]

Great album

Herb Reed the bass was still alive when i saw the Platters at a show a few years back, but he has since passed on also. All the good singers are a memory now.

Roy Orbison was on the original recording but he died before the video was filmed. In the video there is an empty rocking chair with a guitar to honor Roy.

Love this song, and Roy.

One of my favorite bands that does not have "oldie" status is Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. If you've never heard them, this song is a good introduction.

Damn, I should have thought of that one. It's on my recent play list. Great tune.

Death

Oh if we're doing death. Careful this has a couple F-bombs in it. View at your own discretion

I'd give you Danny O'Keefe's "Good Time Charlie's got the Blues" but I'm saving it for when Jordy starts a One Hit Wonder thread.

With musical choices helping to fill the hot-stove hours between transfer discussions and might-have-been musings, and with the recent spate of "elderly" humor and references in the posts, I am suggesting a look at songs that observe, celebrate, or lament growing old. A chance for the many septuas and octos in particular to inform the more callow boneyarders of what lies ahead.

My choice, by a whisker over "It was a Very Good Year," sung by the great Maurice Chevalier:

Forever, I can attest to, is only one breath away. As it has always been. Forever happens to the very young, I that too I know, and the very old. One day you are you the next minute you are not.

Senior Moments



I'm with you @eebmg , thought I couldn't feel worse this AM. Well... what was I sayin'

The only thing worse than getting old is ---not getting old.

Ran across a couple of those (one hit wonders) the other day. So I'm ready whenever we get the thread.

I have so little discretion that I tend to husband it judiciously. I just hate to waste it.
