Joined my first band - at age 37 !

Well played sir! Inspiring folks left and right...

What's the name of the band, what tunes do you play? Small potatoes still taste good.

We are nameless so far. We are building our list of tunes up right now, and it`s going quite well. We really haven`t decided on a "sound" yet, either. We are doing everything from Zep and old Aerosmith, to Kings Of Leon, REM, Police, U2, Jet, Velvet Revolver, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Audioslave, Kinks, Cure, Raconteurs, Strokes, RHCP, Radiohead, STP, etc etc. Trying everything on to see what fits best. Just takin` it slow, keepin` it fun. We all agree that we`re not gonna gig until we`re tight and have an identity of our own.
 
Congrats, not bad for a youngster! ;)

I'm 46, have never really played in a band before (was a lead singer for a band in college and played some ryhthm guitar but that was about it) and my instructor just told me last night that next week after my lesson we're going to a an open blues jam and that I *will* play. Kind of terrifying but I'm also looking forward to it.

You're never too old!
