▬▬ About Aging Matters ▬▬
Since they were born, members of the Baby Boomer generation have played a big role in shaping American culture. In 2011, the first of the boomers turned 65. As they age, the vast number of people entering their senior years will undoubtedly have an impact on how our communities understand and respond to the needs of older citizens. By the year 2020, Tennessee's population of people between the ages 65-74 is expected to grow by almost 48%.
Aging Matters is a community-based conversation about what older citizens in Middle Tennessee need to optimize their quality of life and how the community needs to prepare for our aging population. The series focuses on issues such as caregiving, finances, end-of-life, dementia and Alzheimer’s through documentaries, town halls, panel discussions, short form updates, community conversations, and screenings.

I get it! I'm 68. I've lost about a third over the years. I used to be able to hit a G full voice and now I struggle to hit an E. The funny is that I'm a better singer than I was years ago, I've just lost some range and some power. But I still love to do it. Thanks for this, Kathy.
Sorry - i have no idea who this lady is but I like what she is saying. My voice is different than it was 30 years ago and it is hard to accept.Thank you for the words of wisdom. I will try to take them to heart
I think you still have a beautiful voice, nothing we can do about aging. Like they say things get better with age, don't sweat it dear you still sound marvelous.
THIS is why we love Kathy
I think she is the classiest female in country music, her voice and her lyrics have a very unique warmth that embraces the soul of the listener
Still love Kathy and her voice. She has always been a favorite of mine and I listen to her music frequently.
We still appreciate your performances, those from days past and current.
Totally a class act. Still so beautiful.
Nice to see Kathy open up and tell the world her fears about aging. I think she still sounds great.
her song - where have you been comes to mind
I appreciate your sharing... aging is formadable and as a singer, one can't take a single note for granted.
A musical talent, an even better human being. Everytime time I'm offered a Mattea vid, it gets click #1, no kidding Kathy, press on.....
I had the opportunity recently to see Kathy Mattea Live in Red Bank Nj. She is my favorite female vocalist and the ONLY performer that can consistently bring tears to my eyes with her voice alone. The last time I saw her was twenty something years ago. She had not missed a note and the Kathy I saw performing was absolutely every bit as good as she ever was.
Kathy M. I do not know where I would be without you. You got me through 1983-1999. Bless you as you now minister to me again. Much wish I could say to you
Your 455 Rocket video was simply awesome! I watch often!
This is such wisdom. LOVE this clip. Thank you, Kathy.
Thank you for your wisdom.
I love your music and have for a long time. You still have a beautiful voice. I so needed to here this . I've been having problems dealing with the realization that I am old. I've slowed down can't do what I'm use to doing. Its strange. Thank you so much for being open. Sincerely my thanks kara
God Bless You for Helping Me Validate All I am Feeling...
