Regarding point 2 I was at a fundraiser dinner last night and the entertainer was a tribute act to the 50s and 60s. Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, buddy Holly, Elvis and one other I did not stay for.
At age 56 these acts are known to me but not all the songs. The age 65-75+ people at my table were "you don't know THIS SONG?!" So, yeah Tom's absolutely right. I'll wait until age 75 for a fundraiser with Rush, Yes, Genesis tribute acts. On Sat, Dec 2, 2023 at 10:28 AM Tom Wolper <twol...@gmail.com> wrote: > Going back to the original post: > > 1.
