<p>Pinky Zukerman is on the cover of this month’s Strad, the article says he turns 60 in July.</p>
<p>Can’t be true. I haven’t aged. So I checked.</p>
<p>Itzhak Perlman is 63, as would have been Jackie du Pre. Dan Barenboim is 66, Zubin Mehta is 72. I swear the Trout Quintet was filmed not more than 10, maybe 15 years ago…</p>
<p>Somebody playing games with my calendar? Who stole the years?</p>
<p>George Carlin was 71 when he died last week. Wasn’t he just the hippy dippy weatherguy? Take a look at the faces of Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger.That will tell you time is passing. Look at Yo Yo Ma as well. Time is flying by!</p>
<p>Keith Richards looks pretty bad, too, but then he worked long and hard at looking like that!</p>
<p>Keith Richards has looked that way for the last forty years.</p>
<p>Gordon Ligthfoot shows the ravages of time lately. Too many years in the bottle and some health issues have played their part.</p>
<p>Well <em>I</em> think I look exactly the same as I did in 1969 when I graduated from high school. Well…sort of.</p>
<p>You graduated in '69, thumper? So did I! And I’m sure we both look… almost… the same as then!</p>
