Members Tomm Williams Posted June 5, 2013 Members Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm a grandpa at 52 and our bass player is 60. As long as one person will listen, I'm going to keep playing. All this talk of Dad bands, etc....... Doesn't phase me one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kevin T Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 Im a grandpa of 2 im 60 if a 60 Yr Old was on stage when I was 25 I would not have had the maturity to listen and would have likely left too. Paybacks a mother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sweatpat Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 Id be honored. It was a true statement btw. My pops played professionally for many years before I was born the hung it up when I was born, partially to be home with me, partially to get sober. He picked it (music, not booze) back up when I went to collegein 95. I just saw his band last weekend and it hit me, they do it right! Its older blues & soul but done so well, fromthe musicianship to the lights, sound, banter, the clothes they wear, eeverything screamed pro and the dancefloor definitely reflected it! Very cool to have an example like that in my family, I gotta up my game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sweatpat Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 Here's a pretty hot version of Don Covay's "Critical List" that they performed on a local TV show. That's my Dad on Guitar and my Uncle on Keys... Here's one with my Uncle singing one of their originals: Here's a cut from a live show at a sit down place...
