About 3 weeks ago my mom celebrated her 75th birthday and yesterday my father-in-law celebrated the same milestone. You can imagine how old those events made ME feel. The largest folder of music on my iPhone is named “Oldies” and I find that there is less and less of today’s music that I find appealing.

Speaking of oldies music, some of the artists from the 60’s and 70’s are re-releasing their hits with new lyrics to accommodate those of us who are growing older. Good news for those feeling a little older and missing those great old tunes…

Herman’s Hermits – “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Walker”

The Bee Gees – “How Can You Mend A Broken Hip”

The Temptations – “Papa’s Got A Kidney Stone”

Ringo Starr – “I Get By With A Little Help From Depends”

Marvin Gaye – “I Heard It Through The Grape Nuts”
