Nice! Blue

Has anyone mentioned it depends on what you mean by playing. Bedroom Player, 1 gig a month player, reheasal only player, gigging 3-4 times a week. Pub gigs , corporate/ function gigs. That's going to vary from one guy to another. There are some guys in their 60s- 70s that are in no condition to do any serious gigging and there are some that can play multiple gigs per week with energy to spare. Blue

I'm willing to bet Liberty pushed Billy to far. Blue

Yeah it's not for everyone. I would have been a perfect match for it. Now I'm too old for it. Blue

For those who have watched it The lady guitarist that got the gig with Alice didn't get it on her musianship alone. Very attractive But I guess that goes for anyone trying to score a major rock gig. I've heard that Prince rejected a lot of guys because they didn't have the right look. Blue Blue

I get where your coming from. I'm " old school'" and remember the days when if you were really good and would take risks anything could happen. I believe those days have been gone for decades. We now live in the time of the bedroom virtuosos. Many talented brilliant musicians don't want to gig or couldn't even be bothered with the dated concept of being in a band. Blue

That might be true, but not as big as the houses of those that are the sole owners of a body of million seller work. Blue

At 64, I can still handle 4 hour bar gigs including set up and tear down with no problem My problem is remembering the gig dates and my driving skills have gone downhill. I've gotten lost on the way home from gigs that were 5 minutes away from my condo Blue

I would say our base of fans are all over 50 most over 60. Our BL and front person is 32. The rest of us are 64. Blue

It's the ULine Rock Stage on the SummerFest ( largest music festival in the world) grounds in Millwaukee WI. Blue

Love these stories about us seniors hanging in there continuing to do what we love. We have a bit of an advantage. We know how to filter out all BS and just have fun. Blue

I wish I had that much hair to grow again. Lol Blue

The women. I gave up on that. At 64 they're not interested vin me and I'm not interested in them. Blue

Two pics One is 1969 the other is 2017. Why stop Blue

Still playing and doing some gigs at 72, that is really cool. I'm hoping vto follow in your footsteps. Blue

I'm willing to bet if McCartney's health is in check he'll still be playing at 80. Blue

Yeah, educating guitarists on the value of low stage volume should be real easy. Blue

I'm 64 and been playing and gigging since I was 12 years old. The whole experience is still a blast for me, 4 hour bar gigs, festivals, fairs, practicing and rehearsals. I don't think age matters unless your goal is to be a pop star. What matters is, Is it realistic for you Do you have the time Are you passionate about it. You get out of it what your willing to put into it. Blue

I think the whole concept of "locking in" is more widley understood and appreciated more by bass players than drummers. I can become very aggravated and sarcastic " I'm curious, have you ever even heard the term locking in?" My feeling is; "You better look at me and pay attention when I'm trying to lock in" Blue

I love my slab P. It's been dropped a dozen times. It's indestructible Blue

You might want to watch " Hired Gun " on Netflix. Blue

Yup, that's a story I can believe. Both are jazz guys at heart. Blue

Just so you know I'm not sour on Doug, I always thought he was a better match for the Stones than Daryl. But I bet there was something about Doug or his reputation that The Stones people weren't comfortable with. I think if you say or do the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person and the big opportunity doors close on you. Am I right? Blue

No hit song writing credits means you never get a taste of the big money. Blue
