like the refrain of an old half forgotten song you play in my mind over and over and I hum along no longer remembering words but sing-a-long feelings keep me in tune you were a hit top of my charts and yet new songs have come new tunes are sung new words blaze and yet in that haze of half forgotten things I still hear I still yearn and then I smile for a while knowing as you do too! oldies are goldies Now, isn't that the truth!

Dearest Eileen!!! Hate to admit it but I'm slowing down! May not seem like it by my number of posts each day but I'm delving into my vast reservoir for those that I've accumulated over the years!!! I notice you are not as active as well! Anyway it is great to talk with you again Betty Boop, Love, Kenny xoxoxox Somehow...those golden days seem to be....gone forever. I can't seem to get back into the game here. It's ok. It sure is good to get a visit from you

Time goes by too quickly Eileen, and many of my 'oldies' have passed away, or contact has been lost altogether. But often I think about them and the parts they played in my life. Hugs // paul

Thanks, Shadow. I'm glad you caught that. I fixed it. I haven't been able to write recently. Here's hoping things will improve. Hugs

I think of lost love like old songs, the joy of the first hearing replaced with a soft, comforting hug like an old friend. or my tatty slippers. Viv x

Viv....I was inspired by the reappearance of an old acquaintance. This isn't about music at all, but...I thought the analogy fit. Hugs
