I mean the trick would be to play with younger pple and even though i just turned 64, not so good looking anymore i'm a very good singer and songwriter and Ok guitar-player...Sweden is extremely occupied with youth so what to do

Play what your inner ear hears and record it, then publish online, rather than perform.

Hmm i don't know how to do that and i have the need to meet pple IRL, play together, you don't have to perform necessarily but it feels good sharing your music live, like making love IRL you know

...i've been to much on the internet during my disease, i must enter 3D and pple of flesh and blood.

Ok then. Here is an idea.
Find two other ladies who play an instrument, both same age as yourself. Dress up as mariachis, huge Mexican hats, write some love songs, and offer your services to large birthday parties at homes for the elderly.
Make it comedy, and throw in a little satire.
You'll get press and after a while, even TV.

Just realized i made an untintentioanl rhyme...my speciality...gosh this Mars conj As sextile Mercury pushes me out there....

transiten, your post reminded me of that dreadful Paul McCartney number, so to get rid of that here is a different young people's view of the older folk that they have since become.

LOL I did not know you had this kind of humour Araucaria

Why do you think I'm doing all I can to make him stick around the Village?

His humor is the best, the driest, most subtle, the most sublime....

(Just thought I'd give him some sweet ego-stroking sunshine to wake up to...)

Ulli, that is very sweet of you, but if I'm going to be taking sugar in my morning coffee, I think we need to [classified]

Hey, this idea is growing.
Get two couples, golden years...the most outrageous mariachi costume (to deflect from the wrinkles)
And call your band Mariachi ABBA....

You know i've been touring playing for elders a lot, and all ages from 0 and in between and i'm an expert on birthday songs for my friends but what you suggested is not my bag; my soul yearns for the Simon and Garfunkel/Crosby Stills Nash and Young thing although i don't mind throwing in some jokes here and there

could never stop myself from that. I don't care about press, TV or recording, done that been there, i want to meet pple, create music with harmonies and lyrics and feel good in the moment.

**transiten** · 23rd November 2013 13:17

And i play folkmusic on fiddle, great for streetmusic, singing too tiresome...

Noooooon, rien de rien, nooooon je ne regrette rien, ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
ni le mal tout ca (don't know how to get a cédille) m'est bien égal
Nooon rien de rien, noooon je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie car mes joies - aujoud'hui
Ca commence avec.....MOIIIIIIIIIII

Well, as long as you are doing it for your SOUL you cannot go wrong.....

I was thinking more along the lines of the needs of the age,

Which is my version of soul fulfillment.

Well, damn, my tears are on a hair trigger these days. Listened to Old Friends, there I went. Good thing Paula posted that oldie but goodie to bring me back to giggles. I wish this process could be a little quicker. My old impatience showing. I am no longer counting the days or weeks "since"...that must be a good sign. My logical mind and psychological training tell me this process normally takes months to years with such a long-term relationship, with such a heartbreak. Here I am impatient that it has been weeks. And honestly, what with the way time as we know it is changing, it has been very, very quick thus far. As if the whole process sped up. The thing about this, though, is that when I do get to feeling like things are settling inside, another part of the process shows itself. Like, yesterday M (who, god love her, shares every little thing) shared with me that there is a lady Mike works with who favors him. This is already knew, although there is nothing between them as of yet. The lady is married and has small children. Anyway, she knew he was stressed, and she knew he has a sweet tooth, so she went to a bakery and loaded up a box of goodies for him. And since she knew M was on her period, she threw in some goodies for her as well. Man, oh man. You should have heard Miss M go off about that, it made me laugh. Out loud. "That b***. wtf? Who does she think she is? I have a Mom, and she ain't it! And let me tell her what to do with those tarts!" Oh, I was laughing. She added that she hopes she gets the opportunity to thank her properly in person. I feel sorry for any woman he decides to bring home. I say as I'm smiling at the thought.

Problem is, that as I am smiling and this tickles my funny bone, it also forces me to deal with something I'm not even close to being ready for. But, speed-dealing as it is, I have no say so there.

Susan made me up some type of tincture, lemon balm iirc. Man, that stuff worked a treat. I was trying and trying and just could not shut off the waterworks. Found out lemon balm is for hysteria. Which made me crack up. The name is absolutely misleading. It sounds fresh and citrus-y. Yeah, that stuff is nasty I tell you. But, it does work a treat. Carry it around in my purse. Consistent with my weirdness, it is sitting right beside the Peace & Calming, Joy, and Peppermint essential oils.

Ulli, you said something pages back (I'm still here....) about helping people to deal with waking up, as it can be quite a shock. One of those people was me, of course. I am meeting people irl who are also waking up, and I am offering them the compassion the Village offered me. I don't know what I would have done without the loving support given here. Just wanted to say...

Much Love,

Er... no...

@1inMany, my apologies if Old friends went down the wrong way. On the other hand, as time speeds up, doesn't this mean new friends become old friends in no time?

Here's to new-old friends!

I had the most wonderful dream last night, and you were there, and you, and you, and you and you!
