VALUES CHANGE AS YOU GROW OLDER......
email from Milroy D BS De Silva
An elderly lady was
standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat tight so that it
would not blow  away in the wind.
A gentleman approached
her and said, "Pardon me, madam..I do not intend to be forward but did you
know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?"
"Yes, I know,"
said the lady."I need both my hands to hold onto this hat."
"But madam, you
must know that you are not wearing any panties and your privates are
exposed!" said the gentleman in earnest.
The woman looked down,
then back up at the man and replied, "Sir, anything you see down there is
75 years old.
I just bought this hat
yesterday!"
Gotta
love older people!
Old
age is when you have stopped growing at both ends, and have begun to grow in
the middle.
You're
getting old when you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you
don't have to go along.

Inka Gold, innstrumentals.
I JUST CALL TO SAY I LOVE
YOU cover by INKA GOLD
Annie's
song Pan flute and guitar version by Inka Gold
La Paloma by Inka Gold
Tikiri menike embula genalla. 1960s.
Here
you will see and hear Mohideen Baig, singer par excellence. From ‘Karuna
Muhude..’ 1936. Asokamala songs 1946, Kele Handa, Sujatha and a huge lot to
1980s.
Born
in India migrated early. Lived down Dematagoda Rd, Maradana.
The
first ever Sinhala song record (cut in 1936 or so) is ‘ Karuna Muhude
Naamu gileela’ by him.
With his deep voice and range, Hindi singer were often less effective in the
original songs.
Here
he sings of the ‘kamatha’- goyam kapeema, the farming of the goviyas in days
gone by, familiar to us oldies. And tikiri sinaha, as the damsels brought their
lunch!
I selected this which is not the original, for you to see him as he was,
a gentle giant.
His
son Ishaq sings on today much like the father.
