I decided on the this title because 2017 is a major milestone year for me in a number of ways:

1. My wife and I both turn 65
2. It is the 100th anniversary of my father’s birth
3. I am retiring this year
4. I got my first black belt in Karate 10 years ago ( I am now a 4th degree master)
5. My father passed away 15 years ago
6. My mother passed away 10 years ago

Time is Tight

I am a fan of all the instrumental rock music of the 60’s, not just surf. Booker T. and MGs, house band for Stax records, had many. This is my take on “Time is Tight”, which peaked at #6 on the hot 100 in 1969.
