ReFirement at Any Age: Turn the Lights Back On
By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
The title of this article is from a song that Billy Joel wrote after not having written an original song in seventeen years! After years of writing amazing songs that spoke to the world in so many ways, he just wasn’t able to honestly and humbly express something real and authentic.
