Today's paper had an article about Young @ Heart, a vocal ensemble based in Northampton, Massachusetts. The ensemble is composed of members who are all over 70 years of age and led by Bob Cilman who has worked with the group since 1982. None of the original members are part of the group for obvious reasons.
The group will perform in Toronto on July 10 as part of the Just for Laughs festival. I am not sure that the group is a comedy act although some parts are very touching and will bring tears and laughs to the audience.
This group is still enjoying life. Jeanne Hatch, 83 commented that "I've been to Europe 12 times and had the time of my life". Now that is how life should be lived. Having reasons to get up in the morning.
I won't be seeing this group but certainly there are life lessons to be learned. Let's see if we can not all be Young @ Heart.
