Some people may remember Cheap Trick from the 1970's. They are still working it, and were just recently asked to perform the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album for the 40th anniversary in 2007. They did- at the Hollywood Bowl with the L.A. Orchestra. Since then Cheap Trick went on to record the album and produce a DVD with proceeds going towards battling cancer. They are now performing live in Las Vegas at the Paris every night. "When I'm 64" was written by Paul in the very early days, it was never considered a great song just a simple love song about growing older. If I continue to get good news and improve in my post transplant days I feel much better about growing older every day. I did get a 90% clean bill of health from the cardiologist (just need to confirm that Monday with a blood test) as he diagnosed a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which is four big words for an unknown elevated heart rate after chemo or other trauma. P.O.T.S. eventually goes away with time and exercise. So, more reason to pick it up a notch and hit the road. I do seem to improve every day. We took Sadie to Deep Lake to let her swim as we walked around the lake today, no sun but a good time. My doctor is tempting me with reducing my 3-4 days a week clinic visits too, we might go down to once a week soon. Have a great weekend, I wish you happy times! Greg
Welcome to my Blog
I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg
