I might as well jump in here. I'm 61 and often grumpy. I play my way on my stuff and don't care who's who or what they play. I am also a constant nuisance to keyboard and guitar players who won't roll off their bottom end---oh, and overly loud drummers.
 
A friend of mine once told me that you couldn't measure how old someone is by years, but rather by the way they drink coffee. He said that you started off with a lot of cream, and slowly worked your way down. By the time you liked black coffee, you were old.
 
Can I join? I'm 23 going on 53 (if my music tastes are anything to go by).


:bassist:




Going to have to consult with mrjim on this one.

Yes,we are all ages here,but as we have seen earlier in the thread, J.Crawford was denied attmittance to this club for haveing low levels of crumudgeon. I believe this presents a challenge for you as well.


I personally say "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY YARD" ,but will speak to mrjim. If I catch him before he starts his second bottle of rotgut,maybe he'll not be in such a horrible mood that he tries to hit me with his walker and call me horrible names.


Wish me luck.
 
ok, i'm 56 but i can still kick it out with the best of them. once i hobble up onstage that is. age is no barrier. i play in 4 different bands and do studio work. i've got carpal tunnel syndrome and basil joint arthritus. had 3 surgeries on my right hand in november. the pain is still there but at least i can control a pick. only thing i can complain about is people who assume, because you're older than them, that you're shot. well, fk you kiddie. go play with your toys. hand me a bass!
 
hey, i didnt mean to come off like an a**hole if thats what youre getting at. i really am 56 and play my ass off. here's a few links:

i just love to play man




No man,I was totally serious. Look thru the entire thread,anyone with a story like yours gets automatic entry.




I sympathize with your hand problems too.I'm 47 and am well on my way to carpal tunnel. :atoz:




Numbers coming briefly! :bassist:
