Yesterday when I was young,
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue,
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame;
The thousand dreams I dreamed,
The splendid things I planned
I always built, alas,
On weak and shifting sand;
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away

Truer words were never spoken or sung about...

I actually thought buck was still alive 👍 no funnin❌Ⓜ️ℹ️❤️

[–] kspkap (13629) 6 years ago

Sweet reply! But, I was referring to your jesting about Minnie Pearl. I thought maybe you were funnin’ us about country music. You’ve got to admit...maybe not yet...but the time will come when those words will ring true. My timeclock is running out so today when I read once again:

“I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away”

I sighed and a tear formed.😥

In my next life I want to come back as a musician.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I wish I had learned to play one instrument. My father played guitar/piano/organ/accordion/harmonica. My two older brothers can play a few of these, my sister and I nothing.

I started learning to play the clarinet way back when I was in grade school. A couple of years later I had to choose between that and choir - I chose choir and the rest is history. 😞

Wow! I am envious! I’ve never been musically inclined. I could probably assemble and disassemble a musical instrument, but that would be about it! Strange you & your sis didn’t pick up something from your dad.

[–] GlenEllyn (21659) 6 years ago

My mom could play the piano pretty well. My dad played it by ear only. There were about a dozen duets that he and I would play together, though. One of my brothers took clarinet lessons the same time I did. We practiced together sometimes, playing duets. That's about the only time it was fun.

I used to watch "Hee Haw", it was cute and harmless fun. RIP Mr Clark

Amen. RIP Roy.

He seemed to be a really nice guy. A great musician. Played "Yesterday When I Was Young" at Mickey Mantle's funeral.

RIP, Mr Clark.
