Today I turn 60. Wow what happened?
It’s a strange thing because I don’t feel any older, in my head I’m still in my 20’s but sometimes the body can’t keep up and bits ache or leak 😉 I’m determined to write more, when I say more I mean write something as it’s something I’ve always wanted to do but never got around to. I’m not a great reader but I’ve always loved language and I’ve also always wanted to write a book so now I’m going to ease myself in with a bit of blogging and let’s see where it leads.
The day isn’t going to be anything special, once you get past the age of around 13 I think birthdays and Christmas don’t mean as much apart from the landmarks of 18 & 21. My 21st was spent with the drummer in the band I was in, aimlessly wandering around Great Yarmouth getting drunk. I’m so disinterested in my birthday that I’ve arranged a band rehearsal with my new band 60’s Jukebox tonight! I’m of the opinion that musicians don’t have a mid life crisis, we are lucky to do something that is rewarding and distracting and if you start at an early age it will stay with you until the end, how many 80-90 year old plasters, mechanics, office workers do you know of?
