2022 – LXXV?? O-M-G!!!

(No pictures!)
How the hell did this happen today at exactly 5:00am?
I’d been just cruising along doing all the normal things, like going to Woodstock, having a science career, becoming a college faculty member, photographing almost every rock star in existence, getting published globally in hundreds of magazines and books and now moderating a local history site and leisurely shooting everything else in existence and posting it all as if it might be of interest to someone and this is what I get for it all? OLD?
Just think……..if I could sing – or actually play one of my guitars – I might have been able to add “rock star” to the list……………AND maybe I could have even had the chance to professionally photograph myself while performing! That would have been a first!
Enough self-pity. There’s no sense in bitching about that which is unalterable, so instead, I sought professional counseling and met a support team consisting of two voice coaches (of sorts): Dr. V. Odka and a VERY loud volume controller, who goes by “Pioneer”.
Together, they created a mimicker who could hit a few notes, but only in their presence (meaning I won’t be touring).
So here’s the result (recorded four days ago………..and crank the volume WAY up):
Whaddaya think? Bear in mind that I’ve only had LVI years to practice “Little Girl” and that I “borrowed” it from a Syndicate (of Sound). I hope they don’t have a pair of cement shoes waiting for me after they hear this.
Thanks for reading, listening and for not posting a laugh track in response.
Hey – you only hit LXXV (a Super Bowl designation in 19 years) once!
Bob!
Happy Birthday! Sent you a post…hope it got through…let me know if not 🫤
Happy Birthday, cousin.
I applaud the bravery to share it. You got better as the song progressed.
Enjoy the day.
Uh-oh………..”bravery” is one of those “don’t-quit-your-day-job” words.
Happy Birthday Bob! Rock On 😉
Belated congratulations on yet another successful jaunt around the Sun! Huzzah!
I thought you did a good job. There are plenty of people who
Are less than 75 that couldn’t do as well, I liked the beat.
Congrats
