So how many of us are turning into Old rockers?

  I'll be 49 at the end of the month. Ya know Bill I'd take one good knee over a full head of hair, not that I'm going to get either ! Oh I miss my chestnut corkscrew curls ala Ian Hunter. But I can still kick any up starts ass.

And bend that G string! Creature of habit, huh, doesn't the legendary Dasson Technologies bridge make "hand intonation" like that superfluous?

I was 52 in the shots I have, and my avatar.  There was only one guy older than me in the indie circuit of Cincinnati last year, and he was in a borderline country band (he played pedal steel) passing themselves as alternative.

My age is a state secret, but I bought my first 50s Gibson bass for $125, and I had Dick Dastardly pencil erasers.  Out of a public trader mag when nobody else wanted it.  However, I confess to my preference of becoming an old rocker to the only alternative!

I just turned 31 this year, and I still attend as many punk and ska shows as I can (it's not easy living in bumpkinville as I do).  I get sad when I'm there and I hear 22 - 26 year olds bitching about how old they are, and so on. 

I guess I'm an old rocker.  I try not to think about it, and just make sure I'm still having fun.

I hung out with a couple of old rockers last week - one played in the same band for over 30 years, and for many of those years they were playing at least three times a week. I knew that he had hearing problems when I asked twice if he had wireless internet in his house, to which he responded "what?" Even his 19 year old daughter had to say it two or three times before he finally understood.

The best part was that his wireless internet connection was nicknamed "yer_mom"!

I turned 40 last year but I don't feel it at all, except for a few aches and pains and soreness in the joints.  If I lost 30 pounds I wouldn't have those.  Most of my friends are much younger and they keep me feeling and playing young.  Getting an upright has also helped. A wise man once said "Age ain't nothing but a number..."

Shame the beard came in white, I mean silver...

51 in Cincinnati, and I still gig--only thing I've noticed is that weight has become a major factor when choosing gear.
