We don't age, they just make guitars heavier these days and not as loud so you can't tune them as easy. And the mics are made higher. They use to be the right height for singing but now we have to sit down and adjust them. And some darn fool keeps changing the words to the songs we use to sing all the time. I have to stop and think of the "new lyrics" and look at my sheet while before the old words were just in my memory. The even did that to some of my own songs that I wrote .. the bastards!

I'm forever young because I didn't let the man turn me 'round the day that the ship came in from the Greenland whale fisheries with Frankie and Johnny rowing the boat with the mermaid ashore.

I was. I am wise, compassionate, merciful, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. And really, really pissed off.

Sorry, but it tickled me that as I viewed the board just now, this thread was situated right next to the one about "Pickles and Preserves"

My daughters reckon that I haven't aged over the years – it's just that I now have the grandchildren to justify the age I've always been,

Oh, we age, there's no doubt of that - grey, white or balding hair, paunches and double chins, aches and pains, fading eyesight and hearing.
The question is, do we ever grow up?

Not me!

As far as this folkie is concerned, growing old is inevitable. However, growing up is optional.

IMHO folkies never reach adulthood. Adultery, however, is different.

I was asked to present my ID in a bar the other day. I asked why and was told, "I'm surprised you're still alive."

Allow me to ask one question: is 'age' transitive or intransitive?

Why is it that when you see somebody who you haven't seen for a very long time, they always say "You haven't changed a bit". They are just lying bastards. When they get home, they look at each other and say "Don't think he's got much time left on this earth - didn't he look aweful"

When somebody tells me I haven't changed a bit, I usually reply "Which bit?.....I thought I'd got 'em all".
