In four brilliant versus it takes you from the youthful feeling of having all the time in the world, to the realization that your days are numbered and finally the regret of wasted time, the wishing it could be recaptured and the sad realization that it can't.jjbflashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971840603093085527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-58304481724416404142009-06-15T10:25:04.281-04:002009-06-15T10:25:04.281-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-51716689429546478162009-06-15T10:13:04.845-04:002009-06-15T10:13:04.845-04:00I am going there now, Martha!

And I am a huge Pete Seeger fan.<br /><br />Elizabeth, DUST IN THE WIND is a great one, and beautifully sung, with that lovely violin in the background to make it more poignant. So existential, though. I hear it and think the writer must have had a really bad year. :)<br /><br />Liz, I always tend to forget about Anne Murray, and yet she was Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-24610800465427914842009-06-15T08:28:37.319-04:002009-06-15T08:28:37.319-04:00Anne Murray, Time, Don't Run Out on Me (was si...Anne Murray, Time, Don't Run Out on Me (was singing along with an old tape in the car only yesterday) and speaking of Pete Seeger, the Weavers, not sure which line is the title, but the chorus goes:<br />How do I know my youth is all spent/My get-up-and-go has got up and went/When I think of it all, I'm able to grin/When I think of the places my get-up has been.<br />I went to my older Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-31946504453313803392009-06-15T08:11:46.745-04:002009-06-15T08:11:46.745-04:00What a great list!
