So the idea of getting back into the game in some way has never left me. I’ve finally figured out how to get back in the game and stay in till I’m 90.

I manage an office of 50 people involved in the investment advisory business. We want to give back to the community in a creative way (OK, I do, but they are up for whatever!). So we (I) have decided to start a seniors’ rock and roll chorus, and perform concerts in our community!

Based on a very successful seniors chorus out of Northampton Massachussets, our group will consist of 18 seniors ranging from 73 to whatever age they want to stay involved. We will perform cover songs by The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Sinead O’Connor, Coldplay, etc.

To give you a very good idea, watch this trailer about a movie produced last year documenting the Massachussets band we are inspired by, called Young At Heart.
