Y'all need some newer music in this collection...

Usually my job, but thanks for the help.

Song about her grandmother.

Big White Gate - Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

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:

Ah, GiGi. A movie in its day

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.

It would be positively pervy now. But what a good movie!

I've always liked BST:

And When I Die

This poem by W, B Yeats tells a tale of aging that is unmatched, IMO:

Because I'm a glass half-full type of guy, this song has been my mantra as got in to my 70's...

How about THE CAT???????????????:

Or this one maybe -- about Kitties in the Cradle?

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.
