January 2023 music w/ John Baboian
friends, Happy New Year to you. How can it be 2023 already? Didn’t 2022 just start a little while ago? Time is moving faster and faster. Someone once explained it to me. As we grow older, each year of life is a smaller percentage of the whole package. So, if you’re only 4 years old, a year is 25% of your life. But if you get to 100……1 year is a mere 1% of your life. Therefore, it feels like it’s going by quicker. So much for philosophy.
I hope you had a great holiday season. Only about 350-ish days until next Christmas.
In sports, I’m sure you would all agree that we pray for the well being and recuperation of the Buffalo Bills player, Damar Hamlin.
For the Pat’s, a chance to get to the playoffs, but honestly, if they make it, I don’t think they’ll get very far.
Brady also going to make it to the playoffs again, but with a weaker team this year. But as we are well aware, don’t count TB12 out………
Celtics and Bruins are smokin’!!!!!!!
Sox lost a great player, Xander Bogarts, and have just re-signed their other great player, Rafael Devers, even if just for one year. Training camp is only a month away!!
This month is a bit light in gigs, but that’s normal for January, and a little break isn’t a bad thing. Still a few things going on.
Hope you can join us for a gig or two.
Thanks, Johnny B!!!!!
