I'll be 64 this year. It's Sunday 3:00 AM. I'm wearing purple boxer briefs...

[LuckyCharms]

black slippers, that's it. Blasting this song, playing air guitar and making guitar faces.

Why have you done this to me?

[Aussie105]

1. Living the good life!

I remember being that young and partying like that!

Enjoy! (Sleep later!)

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. Guessing ... cause you're a cool old man?

Tell your wife that a friend on DU has thusly certified it

[LuckyCharms]

13. If we ever have the chance to meet...

I'm going to buy you a beer.

[PJMcK]

3. I'll be 64 this year, too

Want to feel old? When we were born, there were only 48 stars on the U.S. flag.

5. I often think about when my mom was born women didn't even have the right to vote in this country

[LuckyCharms]

14. Damn, that's right! Found my baby pic yesterday while scrolling through my pics...

4. 64, eh?

Very well, in accordance with tradition:








All Paul's ideas.

[LuckyCharms]

16. Well thank you!

I have several months before my birthday, but thanks!

[Mr.Bill]

6. There's a certain Beatle song

you should listen to today. Have a very happy birthday!

[LuckyCharms]

10. Well,

It's not my birthday, but thank you anyway!

What's the song, Mr. Bill?

[Mr.Bill]

12. I guess I misread your post.

The song is When I'm 64 from the Sgt. Pepper album. When I first heard that song at the height of the Vietnam war, the draft looming and the general condition of the world I remember thinking my chance of reaching that age were about one in a thousand. Coming up now on '69 in two months.

[LuckyCharms]

15. Happy birthday in two months, Mr.Bill

And many many more.

7. Good for you! But why was it only an air guitar?

[LuckyCharms]

9. Because seriously, I have next to no musical talent!

I tried to teach myself guitar, but gave up too soon.

However, I'm a half-decent drummer. Took lessons when I was a kid. But I had no sense of rhythm back then. I couldn't dance either.

A few years ago, something changed in me to where I'm a decent dancer now, and can keep a good beat. No idea what changed to cause this, but I was at a wedding a few years ago, completely sober, and danced the night away like a madman.

After that, I noticed when I slap my hands on my thighs, or drum on an upside down 5 gallon bucket, I can keep a perfect beat with a song with both my hands and feet.

Damn, life is strange sometimes.

17. Seriously, you probably have more musical talent than

you give yourself credit for.

Check out what you can get these days in terms of drums or guitars or keyboards, even for under $200, if you're still interested in learning. Reviews on sites like Amazon help, and you can often find the same products reviewed in depth on YouTube. And there are a lot more videos to help you learn these days.

11. Kali, I call what I was wearing "slippers", but they were actually

"Fitkicks"
