      I'm Growing Old is my favorite. 💜
      Growing old is a privilege and a challenge. I grew old too (now 65), but my best friend is a little Hawaiian lady who is 87. She has great positive Energy which inspires me. Your energy and outlook inspires me, too! I almost got to see you perform in San Jose, but it was cancelled, and I was so heartbroken. Hopefully, I WILL get to see/hear you perform before one of us passes away. 😊 I luv every song you've ever sung, but most of all, 'What's New, Pussycat", which I scream-sing in my truck while I drive the lonely highway to town in Texas, where I live. Keep growing old, Mr. Tom Jones! This world needs You! 💗💗💗

What she did with her voice was nothing short of amazing. So glad I grew up in the 60s and 70s. What a great time to be young.❤I never imagined a paring of Tom Jones and Janis. But it was fantastic.

McDonald's in my hometown opened in 1970. Three burgers, one fries, one fountain soda, for 96 cents. I can't remember if the burgers were cheeseburgers. (But I would think they were.) I distinctly remember always getting 4 cents change back. Back in the day. 😊
