I see a lot of bands with a mix both younger and older guys (and even work with a Boston tribute act that has a
young guitar player who is fantastic!). I also see a lot of local and touring acts where the sons or daughters are
now in the band. I think this is a great trend as music is an ageless thing.

Seems my post was lost in transition (currently not home, checking
mails on the phone until September). :)

24 here, in 2 bands (one founded by me), seeking for a third.
Technology never "spoiled" me: turn off the phone, quit mail and you
have the perfect studying enviroment, with the added option of seeking
for different versions of the song your working on.

Still have a lot to learn, of course. I wish I started to play many
years ago (instead than when I was 22).
