Probably no better song to post this week with three days left in my 30’s, written by the best songwriter of my lifetime! “Life Begins at 40” – John Lennon
I posted this song when I attended a Hammond family reunion a few years back so it’s only fair to post it again (live version this time) as a very enjoyable Peet family reunion comes to a close… “Family Reunion” – Corb Lund
