I turn the big Half-Century today

What music did you listen to when YOU turned fifty?
I'm gonna start with the Stones' Flashpoint, then maybe the Schubert D960 Sonata, Faure's Requiem (gulp!), and maybe that in-your-face chamber Carmina Burana out of Sweden a few years ago.
Any other suggestions? And please, I don't need Krall breathing in my ear...I'll let Ellen do the honors.
Cheers.

Happy Birthday Ernie!

How about "Old Folks Boogie" (Little Feat, Time Loves a Hero), "Done Got Old" (Buddy Guy, Sweet Tea) and "Cum mortius in lingua mortua" (Mussorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition, Solti w/ Chicago Symphony)? Just kidding -- I'm right there with you age-wise. The sound and vocals on Done Got Old are terrific though.

Seriously, listen to some Colin James and the Little Big Band (one or two) -- that'll wake you up, get everyone dancing and remind you that all is well so long as you got the swing and can blend the new with the old!

Thanks for everything Ernie. Happy Happy!
