onewilyfool Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Just to clarify...this poll is asking your CHRONOLOGICAL age not your "second childhood" age........please don't put down the age of your liver or prostate.......Let's get a cross-section of the age groups that play Gibson's in this forum.

Hmmm... this was a clarification of high importance for me. Personally, I seem to got stuck to my early twenties, and as musician I am some kind of an experienced beginner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemaster03 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I feel stuck in my 20's or 30's mentally as well, but I'm glad to be the age I am (51 last May). I always figured I'd be dead by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I was 66 at the end of June and still "living proof" that the ladies like guitar players and that most "in the know" and discerning guitar players play Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster1 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Does look like the older dogs have the Gibby's. Same with the Harley's too. "And that's alright with me" I think there's some songs with that line. Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I am in my mid-60s and if Gracie was right and you are only as pretty as you feel I must be one ugly mother. One advantage though - behavior that used to be considered plain ornery is now seen as eccentric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hi Wiley, Put me down as 57. Bought my first Gibson in a pawn shop in Raleigh around 69. Love at first strum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneS Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 If ya'd asked a coupla weeks ago, I coulda shaded a younger bubble, but alas...I'm officially in the second half of the first decade in my second half-century. !!!! I recently read a quote attributed to Victor Hugo, along the lines of: "Your forties are the old age of your childhood; your fifties are the childhood of your old age." Works for me...

Yggdrasil Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I am in my mid-60s and if Gracie was right and you are only as pretty as you feel I must be one ugly mother That was a line written by the short-lived Airplane drummer Joey Covington, actually (not Gracie). Intriguing song, tho - Jack,Jorma,Santana et al jamming for 20 mins - then lyrics added later, cut down to 4 mins et voila - an album track...

The post Dryden LP covers though were a lot of fun. I miss the traditional Thanksgiving shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
