Anyway funny read the fat kid with the "haircut" of doom takes the cake. I'm so glad I missed out on those 80's things. God what a terrible time to be 15 or older.

Drummed in HS, college and Army Reserve. Has an awesome wife and brilliant, gifted daughter. $ucce$$fully $elf-employed as an Oracle DBA. Has toured all over the East Coast and now plays in "the official Irish Band of the NY Mets." Which means that like the Beatles, he's played Shea Stadium. Plays at least a half-dozen gigs a month. Not bad. |

Folks that do the band thing then take a break to do the college / corporate job / family thing and then get a 2nd wind at the band thing in their 40's and 50's. Only now they have the big bucks to create their own man cave recording/rehearsal studios and buy 2000watt PA systems and a collection of $2500 Les Paul's to play for the cougars down at the local dive bars. Just saying that there is a second peak in the data not being looked at. We are the old fart rich guys that keep the doors open at Guitar Centers. One of the cover bands that rent time in my rehearsal studio is fronted by a Doctor that enjoys singing in the band thing over chasing little white balls at the golf course. Another local cover band that gigs regularly is fronted by an attorney that just loves to shred SRV blues. Lots of folks from all walks of life love music.
