This has been a riot, what a collection of geezers we be!

I'm also looking at 60 this September; I don't need a walker just yet and my back seems OK. We've all seen such changes in the industry! When I was half my age, I was in one band that played five nights a week. Now, I'm in five bands to play once a week. (OK, maybe twice a week.) And now my shows are often finishing up at a time that we'd just be getting warmed up in the old days. Whatever - it's all good, baby. Except maybe for wishing that I understood and played music then like I do now.
