Hippy Turning 50

Hippy Turning 50 is Paul Nourigat s cover of the song written and recorded by Tom Patty 20 years ago, as he was profiled for CNN s Life After Work series. The retired Chiat, Day adagency executive from Dana Point California was living the seemingly perfect life, enjoying a different pace of life that during his working years. In 2020, Paul and Tom met through a mutual friend s introduction while strumming guitars in the San Juan Islands, and Tom shared the song and story around Hippy Turning 50. A year later, with Tom s encouragement, Paul recorded his version of the song for his new EP, Shake Stuff Up, which is completely about enjoying life to its fullest and pursuing one s dreams. Tom is still enjoying the perfect life, and although his junior, Paul Nourigat is riding the same wave. This song joins 3 other songs and 2 music videos on Shake Stuff Up, which is dedicated to the theme of making the most of life, in spite of the challenges that surround us.
