8. I've always enjoyed the music of Phil Collins. I've seen video of him and he is not well.

My daughter who is 33 and suffers from severe mental health problems is a drummer as well and our song is one he wrote and performed for the Disney movie "Tarzan", called "You'll Be In My Heart" and he actually wrote that song with his own daughter in mind and the music video for that song reflects that.



"The Beatles" were the group that impacted my life from the age of 11 and now there are only 2 of them left alive--Paul and Ringo, and I wonder who will be the last Beatle alive and if I will live to see when they are both gone. The curse of old age is outliving your favorite musicians and band members, favorite TV and movie stars, good friends and relatives you've known all your life, awaiting your own demise and hoping it will come in your sleep when you still have your wits about you and can get around ok.
