Salt & pepper only

I'm 43 but have had S&P since I was 30. I colored for a while, but just let it go a couple years ago. I also set the clipper at 3/8 inch and give it the military treatment.

I'm 53 - Bass, Lead & Harmony Vocals, & all booking and management
Guitarist & Lead & Harmony Vocals is 55 (almost 56)
Drummer & Lead & Harmony Vocals is 57

We play about 85 gigs a year and have had the same lineup for 8 years and are considered one of the premier bands in the region having received the best band and performers award in the area for 2008. Not bad for a bunch of old dudes. We cover six decades of rock and roll including everything from Buddy Holly to Nickelback with a big emphasis on oldies and classic tunes from the 60s through 80s and surf instrumentals thrown in.

Whats a Nickelback, I know what a Nickel Bag is?

Wondering why church gigs don't count. I have been worn out on more 2 hour church gigs than night clubs!

I am 53 and play bass and sing lead vocals in a Jimi Hendrix/Cream covers band. We practice every week, gig about twice a month and I love it!!

Wow, dream senility, you're 17 for the third time! Give us your play list, please!

57. Seven yrs ago, wife gave me a surprise party, a few guys brought a band worth of stuff for others to join (Classic Rock and Roll). Everyone up & dancing. After the party emails started and ... have been playing (paying jobs) 2 per month. We struggle Dec to March. We had luck with a site called Gigmasters (we are the Fabulous 49ers - i hate the name). We stopped the band thing yrs ago. A blast that 4 out of 6 of us played together in 8th-9th grade.

59 (with my '59) Can't imagine quitting.

My playing career has taken a decidedly different turn as I age. I started playing out in 1974 and did so for a long time. I love playing with/for others. However, instead of a club stage, I'm now exclusively playing as the house bassist for a professional recording studio. It's a far out gig, and I get to play all the time with really cool cats. On the down side, there aren't a lot of chicks hanging around, but that's mostly because we don't want our wives seeing what we happen to pull out of the gig bag...

[bluewine]

I bet it's difficult for the younger TBers under 30 to understand that this going to be them 30 years from now.

53, salt and skin, gigging up a storm when I'm not doing the day job. Three regular projects I work with, and starting another theatre show week after next. I plan to keep doing this when I retire in a few years!
