1. And just like that, it's 1978 all over again

Perhaps I’m getting sappy in my dotage, but this doesn’t sound too horrible, as I would have derided it unmercifully in younger days.

2. I will deride it unmercifully now, even though I'm old.

My ears hurt just thinking about it.

3. My first

First Wife, not MrsK and I saw him in concert. Way back in the day. I still sing a few of his songs. The man sings from his heart. Which makes him unique.
LayMeDown, is the first song I sang (accapella) , to get my first singing job .

Oh the memories. Ty for post! I’ll check it out with LilBit ,
She will enjoy as well

6. My wife and I gave our niece a Barry concert as a present.

We were all fans, but she especially loved the show. We didn't have the greatest seats, but we could at least see him.

10. I'll pass, thanks.

I'll skip Barry's show, in remembrance of the shitty way he treated some college friends of mine, as they attempted to do their jobs, helping to set up the stage for an on-campus show he was giving that evening.

Not quite 50 years ago; you might think I'd forgive and forget. You'd be wrong...
