So where did they come up with 18 years? why not 17 or 19?

It's the golden amount of experience where you reach enlightenment.

This for some reason reminds me of my deadbeat uncle who started a roofing business that "had been serving this community for over 40 years" when he was 41 years old.

Lufthanza Airlines has an 18 year training program for their pilots. Its a safety measure- anyone without at least 18 years experience could hurt someone.
Its like that scene from the Blues Brothers movie where they play that honkey tonk behind the chicken wire- Imagine only having 17 years experience with all those rednecks throwing beer bottles!

An experienced bass player w/ vocal talent, plus a know how on other instrument like keys? They must be a Rush tribute band.

18 years shalt be the amount of experience thou shalt have, and the amount of experience shalt be 18 years.

Exactly what I was thinking.

The "formal training on bass" part knocked me out of the running. All of my lessons were "no jacket required" informal sessions.
