i went back to school at 50. it strained my marriage and was hard on my health. but i had about a doz of his albums on my phone. i listened on my hour long commute.
every day, a different song resonated w me.

that was when i started to sing again. the 1st song i sang in front of anyone was “i’ll never get out of this world alive” for a couple friends, sitting on the porch. that’s the 1st song i mastered when i started taking voice lessons at 65.
he’s inspired me in sooooo many ways.
