lyrics

I’m as old as a bristlecone pine
But my fingers are still workin’ fine
So I’m playin' a tune with you in mind
It’s a way to forget and a way to unwind
I forget that I’m playing alone
I’m as old as the bristlecone.


I’m as old as the bristlecone pine
But I still like a glass of good wine
Can't believe all the lovin’ I got
Can't believe that I never got caught
And my future's as bright as bone,
I'm as old as the Bristlecone


Crusty and dusty and set in my ways.
Gettin' fatter, singin' flatter
Lovin’ these wonderful God given days.
Dreaming of you, I never get blue.


I’m as old as the bristlecone pine
But my feet are still walkin’ the line
Don’t remember the times that I sinned
Or the loves blown away in the wind
The proverbial rolling stone….
I’m as old as the bristlecone.

about

Rick Jones and Valerie Neale image

Rick Jones and Valerie Neale Patagonia, Arizona

Husband & Wife. Mutual Muses. Rick Jones and Valerie Neale proved time and time again that some marriages are just plain music in the making.

They released their first cd "Life Drawing" in 2009 and continued to play together without recording another album. Only in 2021, when Rick was diagnosed with cancer, did they realize that they needed to record these songs.
