Yeah, the reference to the silver plate and flash pan was even before my time, lol.....hard to believe eh? I don't think even toki was around then! Although I do collect daguerreotypes and glass plate negatives.

It's really refreshing to hear some older guys (I'm 42) doin' the thing. I quit playing 22 years ago after some bad dealings and trying to defeat the "Disco-ers". I decided it wasn't worth it and totally quit everything. I started back when I found out my wife was pregnant with our 3rd child (now 1). I'm working hard but it gets a lot tougher the older you get.
Anyway, thanks to you guys for the inspiration.

Man you got that right !!!
I've got three kids (9,5,1) and by the time we finish homework, read stories, baths and bed... I'm about zonked out. I usually don't make it into my little studio till at least 10 or later.
I see your from TN, I'm a little south of you in MS. We need to have a southeastern jam session for all us guys that can't go up north to the jamfest.
See Ya

Edit: Ok wait... Just listened to your chessrock tune. You guys are WAY to good for the likes of me (as is evidenced by my tunes in the mp3 forum that make it about an hour before being demoted to page 3
) Maybe next year

Rustyfingers,
Man I like that name, that's exactly where I am. Just finished doing some lead guitar stuff on a collaboration I'm working on......man it like it used to be! I can relate to the time thing, the only time I really get to do any serious stuff is 3:00am. When I was younger, it was a job. When I wasn't playing, I was practicing. I don't think I'll ever get that skill level back! I would like to get a little closer though.

More like "Krusty" fingers most of the time for me
Little arthritic in my hands...
I played in bands(keyboards) in the late 70's early 80's only to find that nobody wanted to hear anything but Disco. So I hung up my gear (Rhodes, M3, Moog, MS20, Clavinet, Wurly) and quit playing for over 20 years. Last summer I was visited by an old friend of my brothers(this guy) and started playing guitar. I'm trying hard but it's tough. Some of the old fire is back it's just not quite as hot as it use to be.
See Ya

May I say something?
I have noticed you all have found something in common.
I can think of many artists that didn't even get name recognition until they were in their forties or fifties...believe it our not.
Music is not like supermodeling...you don't "age" out of the market!!! That would be due to the fact that supermodeling is not an art.
Art is not something to capitalize on either...because it betray's the soul. If it is something and artist can do to become a musicain by profession....bonus. If not, then only a select few were meant to hear his message anyway...maybe those select few are truly what they are....select.
The legends of the 60's-80's are still playing today...I just happen to be listening to something at this very moment that is twice my age. Real artists...even if they lack ferilizer, listen to real music. I was lucky to be around a real artists (like my dad and brother) that liked good music...and it contributed to not only to my drive to be an artist myself, but to my socialization as a person. Music lasts forever, regardless...you make your mark as a musician, you send a message...you make your mark in the history of the rat race...to it's very end. Music not only ages like a fine wine...it haunts people, it occupies a person's mind as they sit in traffic...it has no age...and it in a sense makes the person who created it ageless.
I can go on and on about this...I make reason of things because I won't let it go otherwise. This is how I see it.

Just a couple of things here....first of all, some of us actually get a bit of a giggle to see that the Stones are still out there....hell, KR looks like someone could just lean him in the corner till the next gig! Secondly, disclaimers are pretty much a given around here.

OH, almost forgot.....Supermodels ARE ART!.....God's art.

You are wise beyond your years (unless you're 80).

bdbdbucksKID,
i too got pulled into being a musician because of my father's interest in it catching me, and i am thankful for it. after almost 7 years on and off (i'm 25 now) of playing various open mics and occasional gigs, i think i'm finally starting to transition the social anxiety into channelable energy live, and it pays off, though i still get distracted when i'm singing something really emotive. it's a hell of a lot of fun, though.
also, beating the tar out of guitars is fun. this is probably why my primary guitar is a cosmetic factory 2nd alvarez-worth penuts in a book, but it plays and sounds decent, and i don't have to cry if i scratch it up.
it's always good to hear people that are really happy to play shows together. a little more of that would be good for everyone. i'm still trying to find someone i can open for around here. my brand of music is kind of hard to get on decent bills with (i play rather dramatic/emotive acoustic/vocal stuff).

I never really enjoyed playing out that much because I'm a terrible singer. But I must admit that it amazes me and flatters me when I do perform at a writer's night or similar function and people come up to me and say things like "My dad used to play with you" or "You wrote my Mom's favorite song". To me it's a source of pride that though I've never been commercially successful at what I do that my songs are occasionally recognized by a second generation.
I write mostly Americana, country, bluegrass and blues and the people who follow those genres seem to be more tolerant of middle aged writers and performers than some others. I like the idea that it's possible for me to pass on some of the stuff that I learned from the "old guys/gals".

Re: Re: May I say something?
Thanks b9,
She's just an exceptional kid that's been blessed with talent. Don't know exactly where that voice came from.......although I'd love to take credit for it.
The upcoming tune is underway.....just a few glitches to iron out still. Because of the way I was forced to record the bass / drums, the bottom end fell out. Clif is shipping the .wav files, but I have to figure out how to synch the tracks to the others. I may have to re-do the other tracks......no big deal, just time.

The Starmaker Machine was there that night, secretly taping the show with our Secret Bootleg Stereo Recorder, and we can now release the Bootleg!
Available through street vendors everywhere!
Just another technique from my NEW BOOK -
"How To Make 1 Million $$ In The Bootleg Market!"
Many musician's overlook the lucrative bootleg market - I can teach you how to take advantage of it! Why waste time perfecting your music, performing, recording, etc, when you can secretly record other artists and put them on the black market? No contracts, no royalties, 100% PROFIT!!!
The NEW BOOK also contains info on how to properly conceal the recorder, secret mic placement, EQ techniques, buying bulk blank CD's. and MUCH MORE !!!
BUY IT TODAY....AND THE NEW CD!!!!
