And I am feeling the ravages of time over here so enjoyed listening to you sing. 2021-09-25T00:15:24Z Comment by 1234567890 So good - so true! And the bugger eats you up at an accelerating pace. I keep trying to tell myself that I was so much older then and I'm younger than that now, but it ain't working. Great song Tony - the simple metronomic thing works so well. 2021-09-22T22:18:30Z Comment by Riff Beach So true are your Lyrics, Tony. Real fine job on this one, Friend. Enjoyed.
