In spite of all the waiting to get in.<br />I agree comb-overs are awful and toupees are worse, especially if they aren't colour matched, then combed-in to blend with the natural hair.

Honestly, I don't know how those performers at their age perform. I would think they would be tired, yet some are on tour like Paul McCartney due here in a few weeks. They definitely have more stamina than I do.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-25208162116567341682014-09-25T21:48:19.533-04:002014-09-25T21:48:19.533-04:00Oh, dear.

We, of course, are only there early because of a scheduling issue. And last week I was in a tour group of mostly senior citizens; it made me resolve to work harder at staying healthy, strong, and able to get around without a cane for as long as possible. Maybe I'll go and blog about that now. Cheers!

I would have waited in line that long for Tommy James.<br />But your stampede description reminds me of the annual free turkey dinner put on at the local senior center where my friend is a director. I helped distribute pie as a volunteer for several years. The canes and walkers lined up hours early, but when the door finally opened they all went flying as little old ladies (and a few men) stampeded to save places for their friends. Then, we looked the other way as they filled purses and pouches with "leftovers" to take home.<br />I can't wait to blend in with that crowd and join the fun. I'm still a "teenager" at 66, but in 10 years, here I come! - wobbling along and knocking everybody outta my way!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359404486512786477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-17741046626801649792014-09-25T10:59:55.383-04:002014-09-25T10:59:55.383-04:00You blend?

Think Deep Purple or Black Sabbath. The fun in those concerts often comes from checking out the audience. There's usually a fair smattering of younger fans who appreciate the roots of their particular musical tastes, but some of the folks look as though they haven't been out of the house since 1975 (or out of the home, as the case may be.)
