Third Agers

People of my generation used to be called 'Baby Boomers.' Now I'm hearing us called 'Third Agers' ~ this is what England's Guardian newspaper has to say about us:

Busy!

I've never stopped being creative, but things are really busy just now. I am really excited about my latest musical project called 'Dreams Before Waking.' I've wanted to create 'darker' songs for a while now, but just haven't gotten around to it. 'DBW' gives me the opportunity to explore the dark side of the ancient, English folk songs, known as 'Child Ballads' and also to revisit the psychedelic songs of 1960's San Francisco ~ it's fun!

Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane then and now

I still enjoy performing Breton music and dance with my band 'Trouz Bras' or Big Noise. We were recently in Louisiana, and had a great time! My third permanent musical ensemble is 'Triple Spiral,' which performs 'Pan Celtic' music ~ songs in Breton, Welsh, Scots Gaelic, French and English. We are about to bring out our first recording as a band, and will be performing to promote it. 'Unearthed' is going to be a great CD!

My Generation

One of my favorite rock songs of all time was 'My Generation' by the English band The Who.

The song contained the famous line, "... hope I die before I get old." I really believed that to die before getting old was a good idea at the time (1965). I'm glad that it didn't happen though, because life is kind of interesting right now.
