61. Why love and music are better in old age — Coral Trimmer in her 90s
Why are love and music better in old age? Coral Trimmer knows. She is a musical nonagenarian who bubbles over with life, love, and courage. She says, “Don’t be afraid. Be joyful and defiant. And also, you can fall in love. In your 90s, just open up your arms — and there probably is someone for you.”
I recorded this hilarious interview four years ago when Coral was 92, and I wanted to know what life was like in your 90s. With Coral’s permission, I now present her words for your delight.
Warning: this episode contains talk of sexuality, a little bit of swearing, and very strong opinions.
But don’t be afraid! She is just being joyful and defiant … and in love. If you and I have even a tiny portion of Coral’s spirit in our 90s, and a fraction of the love and music in her life, we’ll be very lucky people.
