Synopsis

This is a group of sixteen songs - pretty much in the pop genre - written by two Colorado grandmothers about aging. Some are poignant, and others down-right funny. They actually are more appealing to seniors who are still actively engaged in life, rather than those in nursing homes. All of the singers and instrumentalists in the small swing band which recorded these songs are seniors, except for the singer on the "Grandma, Grandma" track. She is the daughter of lyricist Maria Rogers. This book, however, is the sheet music for all sixteen songs. They go over very well being performed in senior centers across the country. You will love the 'country style' song about driving in your RV home, and another entitled 'The Cruisin' Crowd'. There's something in this group of songs that will appeal to you!
