Thank you, Greg. Great post Diane! Thank you for sharing this.

Another great post Greg.  Beautiful performance of a 1960s classic.  Interesting that all of the singers appear to be wearing microphones.  Maybe that is part of how they created the lovely, gentle sound.

Greg Cook

Diane, an inspiring story of your mom's spirit. I'll wager her singing is bringing joy to the other patients who have been in isolation. Bridge over Troubled Waters? She can come close to duplicating Art Garfunkle that will be wonderful to behold.

Mitch, there may be more than one Mama Cass in that group, but not sure anyone can duplicate her voice.

Richard, I'm sure the microphones (and digital technology) improved the sound but that's what makes it such a wonderful performance.

Thanks Jerry and Linda!

Diane, your story about your mom learning Bridge over Troubled Waters was inspiring. Found this version which hopefully provides more inspiration for her.

Thanks for the new version of a golden oldie.  I'll play it for Mom when we Facetime on Sunday.  Might be challenging for her but I find she is more open to new things now than she ever was when she was younger.

What a beautiful story.  So lucky to still have  your Mom and making new memories.

Getting old is tough. I may not be that funny, or athletic, or good-looking, or smart, or talented… 

I forgot where I was going with this

This is for all the golfers (and golf widows) out there.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

This song might sound familiar to anyone that’s visited a Proctologist or Gastroenterologist lately.

Greg Cook

We've been fortunate to experience a lot of great music in our lifetime. Here's some of that music updated as the performers grow older too.

Greg Cook

When I was a child, I thought “Nap Time” was a punishment. Now, as a grownup, it feels like a small holiday.

Greg Cook

For all of you who fondly remember the music of our youth, one of the most iconic songs of our era was "American Pie" by Don Mclean. 

It's full of symbols of the world we lived in. This video is a collage of the stories behind the song.

ENJOY!
