5. When I’m Sixty-Four

From the wiki on When I’m Sixty-Four

Although the theme is ageing, it was one of the first songs McCartney wrote, when he was sixteen. The Beatles used it in the early days as a song they could play when the amplifiers broke down or the electricity went off.

The song is especially meaningful to me as hopefully, I will be that soon.

Heck with that 64 year old stuff, even as I’m closing in on it.
I still like this one released when I was sixteen and in full glory when I was in the full glory of eighteen and finally free…
OK it ain’t Beatles, but he liked the Beatles

Another thing is…I like to harken back to a not too distant past when the only way to hear music period was if it was being played live, by a band, with real instruments and without amplification.

Ah them good ol days, with a piano in every second parlor.
And you needed some horns to fill a big room,
and the singers needed real pipes.

“We shall gather by the River....”
