Music suggestions needed

If you have enjoyed the slide shows I put together for AABR, you may be interested in assisting me with the next one . My latest project is for our older fosters, age 7 and up, who have a harder time finding homes simply because they are 'seasoned'. Roughly 1/4 of the boxers in our rescue (about 80 total) qualify. I'm just getting started on this one tonight and have a couple of ideas for music, but thought I'd ask for some suggestions, too. Besides the obvious "When I'm 64", I've also been considering "Touch of Gray".

What others can you think of that would fit in with my theme?

I was going to suggest Rod Stewart's "Forever Young" but I have to agree with you, Debbie. I really like "Young at Heart" best.

You know, I don't know why I didn't think of that one on my own in the first place... I've used it for a slide show before

That one gets my vote!

Alright, Jimmy it is...but I have way more dogs (3-5 pics for each) than will fit into that one song, so now I need a complementary song to go with it. I found an orchestral version of When I'm 64 that might work, but am open to other suggestions
