Never Too Old

A couple of years ago my neighbour bought a new boat.  He has sailed all his life and thought he'd treat himself.  He then decided to get the bottom 'coppered' as, in the long term, it is better value.  He was just 87 at the time.  Now 94  :D

Saw Focus in December. Pierre van der Linden was superb. One of the most accurate, skillful and hard hitting drummers I have seen, and I always liked hard driving music. They played for 2 hours 20 minutes and were superb. He never missed a beat and did a 10 minute full on solo. He is 74.

I hope I'm as involved as guys from that generation. Once a week I volunteer to teach general computing / internet etc., to old folks.
There's one guy there, 94 & very deaf, who last year was trying Audacity and has now switched to learning Excel despite macular degeneration.

I just stopped by the local music store yesterday to hire an instructor to help me with my muting techniques, among other things. I was feeling pretty old at 68, until I was told that the student before me was just starting. At 81. I left feeling a bit younger.

Time to fix the intonation on the A string on my SR.
