Default Re: Trying to find a band

Hey thats a good idea craigs list may work well! on the old guy comment... I was 34 when I quit playing on the road. I know guys in their 50's who still play professionally on the road 3/4 of the time. Some of them have serious cash to back it up also. Every band here in my home town that makes money hasn't got a member under the age of 27 So you might want to take a look around your town and see who is doing it and who is talking about doing it. You may be surprised what you would find. My son plays drums. He doesn't do anything else but play drums and party. he keeps getting into bands and the other guys either lose intrest of move off to other towns or to another state. He has to keep starting new bands all the time. Guys your age are flighty. I have been there also. You are in for alot of let downs. Good luck finding serious people to play with your own age. I totally understand you wanting to do that though. Who wants to play with a bunch of burnt out has been old guys right? I felt the same way when I was your age. I truly wish you luck and let us know how it goes. I hope you find the right guys and actually get things going on!
