Old age and technology
Thanks to Marie Anne for her email about downloading backing tracks. She had a few problems initially but fortunately I was quickly able to point her in the right direction. Add to that a further helping hand from her 16 year old daughter, and all was well and she got her download safe and sound…
Hi Kenny,
Thanks very much for you prompt reply. I have successfully (with the assistance of my 16yr old daughter) managed to download the track now.
Shouldn’t allow over 45s to work with computers. Thanks very much again.

Oh no Marie Anne, don’t say that….I’m 46 this year (born in 1963)!
Looks like you and I are now officially what your daughter would term “silver surfers”
I remember many years ago a comedian making a joke about child-proof lids on jars – he said they called them child-proof because children were the only ones who could get the lids off ‘em!
My dad laughed his head off at that joke because only a few days before he’d failed to open a plastic pill bottle – he didn’t know that you have to line-up the little arrows on the plastic lid before it opens….but I did, and I opened it for him (I think I was about 10 years old at the time)!
Of course now I have nephews and nieces in their teens who take great pleasure in pointing out to me where I’m going wrong and how I’m out of touch with things etc (and I’m embarrassed to say they’re usually right)…
Ahhhh, what goes around comes around!
It’s an old saying which goes….
“Be nice to your kids ‘cos they’re the ones who’ll choose your nursing home”
<sigh>
Have a great weekend
Regards
Kenny
