Thread Name: Songs about retirement / for a retirement party
Subject: RE: Searching For Retirement Songs
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out what the original question or request was, because the posts are not all in sequence, but here are a couple suggestions of songs for retirees or just for us geezers. ;)

WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THIS LAND
KISSES SWEETER THAN WINE
WHEN YOU AND I WERE YOUNG, MAGGIE
IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR
THE DUTCHMAN
MAIDS WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG NEVER WED AN OLD MAN - (just kidding!) ;)
I'M GLAD I'M NOT YOUNG ANYMORE (from "Gigi")


Of course, one could always anticipate a lovely retirement with Hoagy Carmichael's
UP A LAZY RIVER
