how old are we

[joe2758]

I was curious about our demographic

[frabarmus]

I turned 65 the day before yesterday.

[mr. beaumont]

45, old enough to know better, too young to know a thing.

[pamosmusic]

I am timeless.

[joe2758]

i'll put you down for 50.

Yes indeed - we grow old too soon and smart too late.

[pamosmusic]

I’m more like a concept

[joe2758]

whatever as long as you can teach me how to play lol

[RLetson]

Ask me that in two months and I'll have to change my decade.

[AllanAllen]

Yes indeed - we grow old too soon and smart too late.

Being smart is extremely frustrating, it only gets worse as I age and everyone else gets even dumber.

The older most of us get, the more we realize how little we know. Stick around and you'll learn the same lesson.

At least I figured out at a relatively young age that guitars are awesome and a well prepared piece of quality fish is about the most delicious thing imaginable.

I'm doing Baccala alla Ghiotta tonight, and then having an extra glass of Pinot Grigio while I play some guitar.

Damn, so I knew you when you were 30!

You don’t think both cases can be true?

I'm in my sixties. It seems back in the 1960s and 1970s so many kids took up the guitar. I have four siblings making five of us, four of us played guitar when we were young. Many of our friends also played guitar. I imagine most gave it up though. I suspect that is part of the reason this poll would weigh heavily toward people in their 60s and 70s.

… he said, knowingly.

[kris]

They're all so young and I'm old and stupid.

[BBGuitar]

Older than dirt BUT still above it.

This was a favorite saying of my grandmother and she was 100 percent correct.

[Stringswinger]

I still think that I am a young man but my soon to be 67 year old body often proves otherwise.

[joe2758]

I hear "don't get old" twice a day everyday at my job

[Cunamara]

I thought growing old would take longer.

[mr. beaumont]

Damn, so I knew you when you were 30!

If you've been a member here as long as I have, then yeah, you did!

Yeah - you finally get your head together and your body starts coming apart. Just stay in the groove.....

Another 60s demograph here.

Life has imperceptibly shifted from a leisurely stroll in the countryside to a Shinkansen bound for the Great Beyond.

But I never thought about music generationally, though it seems sensible. My brother and I took up playing in the 1970s (he on drums) and we still play today.

Maybe the current generation is on a similar demographic wave. It seems that many of my Gen Z students are into playing music.

Only time will eventually tell us.
