Clive Thorne Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Not a tune, not even a general concertina comment. More of life comment. I've just noticed my profile description and it says that I'll be retiring in 20 years, which at the time meant at 65 (now going to be 66). I have just had my 64th birthday!! Where did that all that time go? I must have blinked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunks Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Happy Birthday! At 73 (retired 13 years) and a recent (3 years in) player, I'd say you have a time machine in your hands every time you pick up your box....😊. "The March of Time", great name for a tune!

One of my favourite quotations is from Terry Pratchett: "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did that all that time go? I must have blinked. Well I remember my first experience at the Northeast Squeeze In in Massachusetts. I walked into the parlor and saw a bunch of really old guys cranking out polkas on honking big piano accordions. A couple of decades later, I realize that they were probably younger than I am now.

Ken_Coles Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Better to have honked and aged than never to have honked at all. Ken (not 64 yet) B^) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncopepper Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 You can take a rest for the last two years before retirement. They will go very slowly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_s Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 "Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64" - sorry couldn't resist. Oh BTW, I'm 74. Crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
