Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[Ken R]

Yep. I'm an old bastage.

To quote Harrison Ford, "It's not the years honey, it's the mileage! To which my wife says " No dear, it's the years!"

Nice!

My wife says you are only as old as you feel. So she feels me and says nothing???

Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill.

B-string, Better start designing a tee shirt for us before this thing gets completely out of hand! You know how ole coots can be! We need a smiley with beard, cane, glasses & such

I am just 52 1/2, but grumpy as hell. My elder son that lives with me uses to dress like a goth, so there's a lot to be grumpy about.

But I am happy that he likes my kind of music, he plays with me in my cover band since he was 14. Not all stuff, but the songs that are too difficult to play for our rhytm-guitarist who is also our singer. Lets say, a dual guitar solo with the lead guitarist and stuff like that. He loves that a lot, likes the tunes, likes to play with me and the band.

So, as I can say, there is hope for mankind. At least for music.

So give me a number, I want to tell my son that his behavior and dress code made me join a club with the name "Grumpy Old Farts". Maybe this is enough to make him get a haircut....

I am so glad you qualified that! Musicians shall inherit the Earth!

Us and the cockroaches. Great.
I want a T-shirt.

I remember when TV's & radio's, not just amps, used tubes. Does that count

Your sig line helps.

I have a nasty head cold for two days now, benefit is it can put weird images in my head.
Vision of an old fart with squinted eyes, sarcastic smile through a beard above a modern looking amp head with tubes and transformers taped on top of it. Garden hose in one hand, bass in the other. T-shirt idea?

 

[RobJ]

Ok yeah I'm in, Old and grumpy as hell. Gimme a forkin' number please.

Can we work this in somehow?

That's kinda how I see myself.....

I'm not an amp tech, but I have a fair amount of amateur experience with builds, repairs, mods, and at least one blasphemous hack, of tube amps. Balding, 50 (the same age I first recognized my dad as being an old bag of crap). I was sad when I heard my kids middle school dance had a DJ instead if a band. I am often appalled when perusing eBay and see raw garbage that I wouldn't touch back in the '70s and '80s being sold for real money because it has gained the credibility of being called "vintage". So I guess I have the grumpy/grouchy thing beginning to cook. Am I too young for a number?
