I'm older than I've ever been, got more grandchildren than I've ever had (10). Been married for 45 years and it only gets better (young people don't know anything).
Started on piano. Played trombone, 6th through 9th grade. Played guitar since high school. Started playing bass when I was 60 (11 years ago now). Wish I had 'discovered' the bass about 46 years sooner!
