another tuffee - no more old outfits to play with..tried to find the mini skirt shots...but could not find them easily, because the pictures were so tiny....we came a
long way in keeping memories indeed....the other shock was to realise that
the majority of people and animals in the pile of pictures have been gone to
the other side....

photo is from around 1969 ,the time of wonderful flare jeans and slender
silhouettes (mine)....visiting as a journalist the government building in
bonn/germany....the picture was taken by ludwig binder, the photographer
i worked with....he could have never imagined the his shot would be seen
by many people in the world....big smile...he died 1980 - you can see some of his work

Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Then, the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days


Through the door, there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
