Ageism is a problem facing many people as they get older but a Calgary accountant who always dreamed of a life of singing has now switched careers and has released his first CD at the age of 83. Carolyn Kury de Castillo reports.“Probably when I was five years old sitting on the throne in the bathroom singing with the church hymn book in my hand,” Hutchison laughed as he recalled his early joy from singing “Onward Christian Soldiers, at the top of my voice.
“I heard this music and I went downstairs. I said I’m going to take lessons from you, so I trained with her,” he laughed. It’s not just jazz singing that Hutchison took up late in the game. He ran his first marathon at 59 and has run 11 marathons since.“I’m 83, but I don’t feel any different. I’m slower obviously in running and when I ski the double black, I take a lot of breaks,” he said. “I don’t feel like my brain is different than it ever was. I’m very fortunate with my health and people say you do work at it and I guess I work at my music but life is for living.
