      Saw him in concert just before the pandemic! Jen got us tickets for Christmas (she was really searching for things to get us out of the house).

      He did a medley of Sundown with a couple of other songs... did like 30 seconds of it. Seemed like an odd choice.

      I think we were the youngest people there. My favorite part of the show (aside from getting out of the house with Jen) was when the guy next to her asked her if this was the first time we were seeing him live, and when she said yes, he replied "well lady, you are in for a treat!"

      For a guy who 81 at the time, he rocked like he was at most 79 years old.

It's a tough part in life when we watch our parents get older. For me it is a real reminder of my own mortality. It's difficult, but in some ways a good thing I suppose.
        not the usual mom talk we get in VD threads.

                  Even without Entwhistle and Moon they are still well above replacement level.

                    I lucky to still have both my parents but it been a rough 6 month for my Dad. He suffers from AFib also and even tho he usually goes to theCleveland clinic sometimes has to go to the local hospital. About 4 months back he did this to get his heart shocked back into rhythm and for some stupid reason the local DR took him off his heart Med the Clinic Dr had put him on and put him on something else. 2 weeks later he started puking after every meal. First tested him for covid, then they found a mass on his pancreas then thought it was a bad gallbladder. So we went from thinking he had cancer ( thankfully no) to having Weak sick ( lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks) 89 year old facing surgery and all that entails. Luckily the gallbladder Dr who was reluctant to do the surgery said their were to many signs it wasn’t the issue. We regrouped and thought when did this all START to happen. I Remembered the day he had the Covid test because it was just outside the town I lived in so I met them for breakfast. We lasted 2 min and I had to take him outside to puke. That is what rang the bell of just a little of a week before the shocking and the changes in Meds. His real heart Dr took him off the different meds and that took care of the issue. We were sure it was the end for him.
