Wow after seeing all that, you’re not the only one feeling old!
You’re not the only one feeling old tonight, Dan. “Every Rose Has Its Thorn?” Good Lord. I could be Aumont’s mama.
What a playlist ! I know I’m in trouble with Sal Rende and Love is a Many Spledored Thing. That’s my all time fav. Showing my age! Yikes but I don’t feel it.
Don’t feel bad. The #1 song when I was born was sung by Patti Page.
Rod Stewart – Tonight’s The Night (Gonna Be Alright)
While not giving out a date over a web site in mixed company, Percy Faith and his orchestra with “Theme from ‘A Summer Place'” is associated with me.
I don’t think they had recordings yet the year that I was born. HA!
lol, just made me look and check mine…
“we had joy we had fun, we had seasons in the sun” haha
Hey Jude
And to think I got carded trying to buy a Bud Light Lime at the Hog Heaven the other day. I think the free visor made me look young. 😉 Either that or there are more people with eye problems around here than I thought. Good for me both ways, I guess.
