Welcome aboard Stacey. Good and well-intended advice above. My advice is to not be so focused on your own age, or that of potential bandmates. The ages of players in my band currently spans 47 years. Each of us has a contribution to make, and the whole is all the better for it. I suspect most of us would admit that we presume it's easier to get along with our own age cohorts, but I find that age is not a very significant discrimant. Plus, no matter where an individual may fall on the age spectrum, he or she misses out on a lot by shunning association with people of other ages. It's just another form of unintelligent discrimination. The key is to enjoy the music, and the people you make it with.
