66 in may. buy this post shows how long people have played to. Not just there age. One thing to remember is music is to lift everyone up it is not who is better than any one else. Some play great others not so but we ALL have fun with music. Also who gave us our talents? not us. :D
If I couldn't play music I would go nut's.How do people go thru life and not have a hobby? life would be boring.

Deck o' Cards here at 52 and finally growing into my two favorite age quotes (as I remember or misremember them as)

- A man is only as old as the woman he feels. Groucho Marx

- I may not be as good as I once was... but, I'm as good once as I ever was. Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson
The One & Lonely Tommy Young

"Now is the time for drinking;
now the time to beat the earth with unfettered foot."
-Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 B.C.)

I am 81, and still wondering if I will live long enough to ever get to be a real good steel player.
