Happy birthday, Wolfman,

I am getting far to old (pushing 70) to do the party-till-I-puke number anymore but more power to those of you who wish to and are able.
I never touch intoxicants unless I am playing music. A beer or two seems to put my old brain in party mode and I can then loosen up and think of a ton of fun tunes to play.
A third or forth beer and my skills and lyric memory tail off dramatically.
Time to switch to ice water.
If I take a wee nap I can still boogie all night. smile

Re: how old is every one?

Who am I kidding Toots??
Your right my party animal days are behind me in truth. I reckon I will have a couple of beers strum a few chords and keep my wife awake with my terrible snorring which I get when I drink beer.
Anyway guitarist dont get old they are like the instuments they play they mellow with age and their tone gets better and better. Quality not quantity and your right a couple of beers seems to open the old song book in your head.
All the best
WolfMan

Re: how old is every one?

Not sure if I am the oldest guy on here but here goes. I am 62 years young, (you are only as old as you feel) and starting playing bass guitar back in the mid 60's into the early 70's. Became a DJ and that finished in 1990. Bought a Ibanez GSR200 in 2000 and have played a few gigs with friends since then. Your never to old to rock!

Re: how old is every one?

Hi quests ,no you are not the oldest here there are older and alot of us in the fifty ,sixty year old group,myself I am sixty two also.

Re: how old is every one?

Hi Dino, nice to hear from you. I played in a variety of pop and early rock bands and as I mentioned in my earlier posting, then became a DJ which made me a lot more money. I run a Jazz venue once a month in a town called Stourbridge and have been involved in promotions for many years now. Still miss the big gigs and travelling around the country as we all enjoyed ourselves and met a lot of other bands, some who became famous. (what did we do wrong?) Anyway, it's nice to be playing again. Regards, Bill.

Re: how old is every one?

i am 64 been playing for 4 years so do not think age has a lot to do with it keep struming guys.

Re: how old is every one?

Sorry, I just found this post. 45 here!

Re: how old is every one?

The road can get pretty rough for most of us, cj.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: how old is every one?

57, I'm self-taught. I started 32 years ago. Stopped 30 years ago, picked it up again 8 months ago. And here's why...I worked in a Cigar shop, Blaine Larsen came in with a few other guys. To kill some time before going to my local Country radio station for an interview they brought their guitars in and played for about 2 hrs.  Unbelievable, a 2-hrs concert just for me.

Went out and bought a Fender Acoustic within a week and then an Epiphone Les Paul 100 about a month ago. 

I wish I never quit.

Re: how old is every one?

Re: how old is every one?

When you get to 29you just use the alpbet ie: 29a,b,c and so on till you run out of it then tell your true age,and be proud you are a survivor. young age is great but old age and trechery is more fun.

Re: how old is every one?

Hi;
Jeez, I'll be 58 in September... Still, I'm tall and lean and in full shape, and my two sons also play with me - when they've got time. Blues à la Johnny Winter, hard rock, country rock... Man, it really helps.

Re: how old is every one?

im 50.Not 50 years old or young,just 50.Dont know about anyone else but this is the best age ever.I love to rock out and I dont care who knows it. I am not lean and in shape anymore but thats the best   part of being 50. Its an age where I dont care what others think. Where I love getting older my friends(non players), hate it.

Re: how old is every one?

I'm heading into 61 in a few weeks and having more fun than ever. I picked up the guitar again after 35 years of trying to get on with life and thanks to chordie I have been able to play again.  all I can say is, thank you all for the inspiration.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: how old is every one?

Keep it going this time bluejeep and welcome to chordie,alot of us are in your age group.

Re: how old is every one?

I'm 16.  Reading through this thread i noticed a few New Zealanders. I was born in New Zealand and still have my accent. (People are always teasing me about it sad ) Go the All Blacks!

P.S Wish I could play drums and piano.
