Parents 64th Anniversary and Sixty Four at Karaoke

  • Parents 64th Anniversary and Sixty Four at Karaoke

  • A personal milestone connecting my parents' wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day to a classic Beatles song performance.
  • Singing "When I'm Sixty-Four"

    • Valentine's Day would have been the 64th wedding anniversary of my dad, Ray Schwartz, and my mom, Retha Schwartz (who is still with us, though Dad passed in 2008).
    • To celebrate, at both my Friday and Saturday Karaoke sessions, I sang "When I'm Sixty-Four" by The Beatles.
    • Before singing, I announced their anniversary to the crowd and followed it up with a fun realization: "And in about nine months, I'll be celebrating my own 64th birthday! Go figure!"
    • It got some great chuckles from the audience.
