Fellow geezers. Enjoy it while you can.

I live in the states and I am familiar only with American old time music of the southern mountains. Go to lots of festivals and do a lot of jamming at parties in private homes.

A few years ago we geezers and soon-to-be geezers were bemoaning the dearth of young people at our gatherings. We assumed the music would die with us.

Now we're getting our butts kicked regularly by toddlers. The winner of the mandolin competition at Vandalia (Charleston WV) this year was a young lady who didn't look old enough to possess a driver's license. Probably only one of the bluegrass banjo finalists has to shave more than once a week.

If you just keep making good music, they will come.
