I'll go outside, And walk in the park, If the weather ain't bad, I'll stay out until dark, 'Cause Age Is Just A Number, Ain't gonna let it slow me down. I've done so much, but I ain't done yet, I'll do it all, so I'll have no regrets, Still so much, I wanna see, I'll keep goin' 'til a hundred-and-three... Go out for a meal, Meet up with the guys, Gonna get out there, And socialize, Cause Age Is Just A Number, Ain't gonna let it slow me down. [Clarinet, trombone, alto sax and trumpet solos over verse & chorus chords] I'll play piano, and banjo too, Show those young'uns, A thing or two, 'Cause Age Is Just A Number, Ain't gonna slow me down.

Splendid!! Welcome to the forum, Bob. Right after clicking on the link I saw the pic and knew I was going to love this one.
YEP!! Terrific write. Man, I really like the style of this one. Cool arrangement and the lyrics are perfect. Max McPherson is an excellent choice. A very strong vocal. Love the NOLA feel thta would play well in a club on 51st Street. Keep 'em coming, Bob.

Great song, vocals and mix. I really liked the choice of instrumentation. The 2nd fun song I've heard on the forum today.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Good song & performances.
My only nit would be the somewhat abrupt trombone...the other solos seem to slide into their slots...a tiny bit of volume envelope automation on the beginning of it would make it sit beautifully.
Cheers

I'll check into volume envelope automation, I'm not familiar with that.

It's really fun ;-)
