My Favorite lyric is always the one I just wrote. SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA RUN SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA WALK SOMETIMES EVEN CRAWL GIRL YOU GOT ME WALKIN' CAUSE I'M TIRED OF CRAWLIN' GUESS YOU KNOW IT'S TIME TO RUN chorus from 'TIME TO RUN' copyright Dan Chavers 2007

I'll turn 67 on Dec.31 and up till a couple weeks ago I was wrestling with the mentality of "these kids don't want to hear an old guy". I host a weekly open mic and usually open with a short set. I was in the middle of a slow ballad when a cute lady in her mid 20s moved up to a front table and sat there all stary eyed and smiling for three more songs which resulted in her and her boyfriend having a big spat and leaving. As they went out the door she looked back and smiled leaving my ego in pretty good shape. I am not a rocker but I think the bottom line is "if you feel good about your music, present it honestly and still connect with an audience, AGE IS JUST A BUNCH OF IRRELEVENT NUMBERS.

All the best to you and yours
