About this time last year I decided I didn’t want to die fat!  I found my exercise routine … for some unknown reason … just wasn’t working.

After an accident on my road bike when a Russian lady thought it’d be a good idea to pull into the bike lane and stop in front of me just as I was looking down to grab my water bottle, I decided I’d try something safe … a stationary bike.  (I can attest to the fact that bike helmets do, in fact, stop your head from going through a car’s rear window but you’ll never be able to wear that helmet again.  The bike wasn’t too happy either.)

Ultimately I got a recumbent stationary bike that I ride for about an hour, 3 or 4 times a week along with golfing.  Except … that’s boring … which might apply to my golf as well as the bike riding.  I discovered that music helps with the boredom of sitting in one spot for an hour.

With the help of YouTube and Airbuds, my eclectic musical tastes stumbled across a bunch of familiar sounds. Updated by more recent performers, these "old standards"  gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling making the time on the bike fly by.  Maybe they were more our parents' music than Elvis, Dion, or the Big Bopper, but I still found I knew every word!  Here are a few by Tony Bennet and friends that I thought some of you may enjoy.
 
Remember, Tony was in his late 80's to his mid-90's fighting Alzheimer's when these were recorded!
