In Search Of The Lost Chord

Tonight I will drag my old bones out of the house and go to the Palace Theater with my rock and roll buddy, Tom, to see the Moody Blues.  I am sure some of you have no idea who they are.  They are one of my favorite bands, I’ve been listening to them since I was a teen-ager in the 60’s and I have seen them many times over the years.  They play wonderful, beautiful music and they can rock and roll with the best of them.  I am excited to see them because their music has been a big part of the soundtrack of my life plus I love to see and hear live music.  I also like doing things with my friend, Tom.  We are both 62 years old and have been friends since we met in high school during 6^th period study hall of our sophomore year.  At that time we were 15 years old.  We learned how to drive cars together in a summer school Driver’s Ed class.  I think we drove the teacher a little crazy and probably scared him to death a few times.  Most of my youthful adventures, many of which cannot be talked about in this forum, were with Tom.  He was also the best man in my wedding.  As I think about it I realize that our 47 year friendship is the longest ongoing friendship in my life.  We are both moving a little slower these days but we are still rock and rollers.  Of course, since I will be out after dark tonight, and I may get home as late as 11:00 PM, I will be taking tomorrow as a vacation day.  It is exhausting to be an old rock and roller and to stay up that late!
