...at 58 years old. The Lovely Donna and I went to a Donna Summer concert last night where the old gal looked great and proved she could still belt them out. Donna Summer was pretty good too.
Looks like Donna S. is coming to FL and CA soon too, for those who enjoy that kind of thing.
58!! Congratulations. The way I see it (same age bracket) is that life now offers new opportunities not open to us when we were younger. Just starting a new phase.
Ed, my "boilerplate humor" above may have confused the issue. The Lovely Donna is only 51, though she will not admit to anything beyond 45. Donna Summer is 58, and though she's put on some weight, her voice is still incredible. And as before, she has fantastic stage presence - the theater where this took place is very small and we were only about 50 feet away from the stage. It will be weeks before I shake those songs from my head!
PS - I agree on the new opportunities that are quickly approaching at this stage of our lives. TLD and I are both looking forward to them!
Glad you got that off your chest Jim That's funny!

She probably says the same thing I do.... "I'm still hot....it just comes in flashes"
Sounds like a great concert!

Wow...I just got zoomed back to the 70's last night when my 15 year old daughter put on a remake of Donna Summers' "Hot Stuff" by the Pussycat Dolls...and now hear you attended a concert! What fun that must've been Jim!!! So tell me, were the old folks in the audience bumpin' and grindin' and doin the disco thing?

They were definitely clappin' and dancin' at a "geriatric" pace!
