I have a brother who is over 70 and in the past he was a State Manager for an International company for a number of years as well as running his own import/export businesses.
He now busks in the streets of Perth and also sings at nursing homes and shopping centres and loves it, he said he wished he had started it years ago.
Here is a picture of him at a shopping centre doing his stuff.
I must admit I admire his tenacity and drive for one of his age.
He sure is Cloak, one of my two younger brothers, he turned 70 last March.
Dave, have sung a song now and then and recited a couple of poems but not for a long time, just for fun!
Gary.....KMart specials....
Jules, he would have probably been in it but too busy doing his entertainment rounds.
Here is a shot of me (no music or backing) singing a little (clean) ditty to a group at Harvey Dam...
(PS: We do have a great singer on GN by the name of Jonathon (Biggles), I have seen and heard him in action.)

Glad he never stopped learning Milo, gave him a purpose in life if only briefly towards the end.
