Members nothingstock Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 Wow - you all seem like a bunch of newbies . . . .. I started when the beatles hit and I'm 54 now, so its been about 40 years. I wish I played as good as I should be able to after all that time, but it's still fun, too . . . . . . after all that time.

Members Lord Valve Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 Originally posted by Sordid1 Scott's thread made me think about this and i'm curious as to how long you all have been at it. For me it's right at 15 years (I'm turning thirty in a month or so). What about you all?_Shane 45 years, if you just count the Hammond. Add another 4 years to that if you include the trombone. Howdy, noobs! ;-) Lord ValveYou have been banned from TGP for the following reason: none.Date the ban will be lifted: never." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members STEEL KAGE Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 Originally posted by Sordid1 so a few years then I guess? Once I started the longest I have went without playing is about a week. I started in the 80's as well and then gave it up for 5 years in the 90's... Total time would be maybe 15 years?

I've come to the realization that when i'm not in an active band i'm not as happy in life because it is a big part of me. The years I spent not doing a band the whole time I wished I was doing it but for other reasons couldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
