Is an end to a long career. At 95 years old that's pretty amazing.

That "60 Minutes" piece by Anderson Cooper last night was one of the most moving I have ever seen.

Thanks man. I had not seen that. And I agree - that was incredibly moving.

Man, I hate Alzheimer's - it took my grandmother.

It's sad but on the other hand - wow. 95 years old with Alzheimer's and able to perform. Most of us will never get to 75 let alone 95.

I've read in sciencedaily that it may prevent or delay alzheimers.

Sometimes, I feel borderline. I've been taking the B12 for other reasons though.

 

I really can't stand Lady Gaga, and those herky-jerky movements look SO awkward., posted on October 11, 2021 at 07:01:16

What interested me is that TB actually gets better and feels better when he performs. He can do an entire show without a single not or reminder.

Good intonation. Musicality. No need for pitch correction. I like Gaga.

I saw her in Vegas a number of years back at the MGM. Back then the tickets were $99. Now they're $600. I enjoyed the show. She apparently has had some injuries so her neck often seems quite stiff as if she is turning her back along with her neck to change directions so it makes her look a little wooden.

I like that she tries different genres of music and if she gets more ears listening to jazz she can serve as a kind of ambassador to the music.
