Ontario Finnish Resthome resident inspires local father and son singer-songwriters to write, record new soul-searching song
A conversation with a Sault senior inspired a fellow senior to enjoy the gift of life and continue with his longtime passion for music.
“Back in November of last year I did an afternoon performance at the Finnish Resthome and as I was taking down my gear one of the residents by the name of Betty Pretty came up to me. We struck up a conversation and I asked Betty how she liked living at the Finnish Resthome,” Provenzano told SooToday.
Reflecting on how precious life is, Provenzano and son Luke got their musically creative juices flowing and wrote the lyrics and music to a song entitled I Ain’t Got No Time For Dying, using Pretty’s quote as the song’s basis. “We’re always looking for the basis for a good song, we look for an idea and this inspired me. If you have a lifestyle where you are passionate about different hobbies and interests, dying, I guess, should be the last thing on your mind. You should just live in the moment and enjoy your life to its fullest because none of us know how long we’re going to be on this planet.
