Just on board recently, using the handle "Bob Jovi". Got a 3 yr old son that likes the Beatles and Saint-Saens (music from "Babe"). He's on his third guitar, and he likes my conducting baton. So far--no interest in folk music, except for Pete Seegar's "Abi Yoyo".

The 53 is after morning coffee, it's pushing 80 before.

The ratio of m's to f's is interesting. I see the same thing at the acoustic jam I go to. Are guys more musical, or do they just have more spare time?

Ok, I confess, not yet ready for a zimmer ,coined after a correspondent (on another list) called me "the pelvis" after I helped out with some '50s skiffle lyrics!-I thought it more appropriate to a (yes, typical mudcat male) 55 year old (but still 25 at heart)

Will hit the big 4-0 on Saturday, having some problems dealing with it. I'm thinking "but I was so much older then" but I'm not really believing it.

New to Mudcat, but after spending hours and hours and hour reading all your threads, laughing and falling off my chair at some of them, and singing my head off at others, it looks like I might be here to stay :)!

Happy 40th birthday, Steve Latimer--March 27, 1999 (I would have sent you a personal message, but you are not in the member list as "Steve Latimer"!)! Don't worry about 40. I'm sure you have done enough things in your life up to now to be the age you are. Many of us are past the 40 year mark & going strong. I'm sure I'm entering the best part of my life! Go to it!!! :)

Happy Year!

F62, every year gets better (mostly). (Using WebTV, can't access/modify the "From" line.) Only 2 yrs. to "When I'm 64," provided we all survive y2k.

Alice in Montana (Jan. 17 posting): I had a corresponding experience over 5 yrs. ago at a Dawn Dance (all-nite contra-dancing), when a (beautiful) young chick, age 20, came up to me ca. 4:30 a.m. and said admiringly, "I just love watching you dance, you're so graceful and energetic at the same time." Ooh, such a compliment! I was about to express my pleasure at hearing it (and compliment her in turn on her perspicacity) when she went on, "You remind me of my grandmother!" Ooh, such...uh.... So taken aback (knocked off my pins, us oldsters might say), all I could think of to reply was that I remind me of _my_ grandmother too. (Which is true, but I was startled to think it showed from the outside. I'm beginning to get used to that part now, even tho I don't believe it except when I look in a mirror sometimes.)

Yes, Jet, you are, at least among those reporting. And Sandy had been so proud of being tied for the oldest member, but you have taken that prize!

Just bringing us up-to-date statistically. Total # of Mudcatters reporting is 131, M = 90, F = 41.

Average Mudcat age is 46.4 years, M = 47.3, F = 44.3.

Age Range is 15 - 74, M = 19 - 74, F = 15 - 63

Modal range is M = 45 - 49, F = 50 - 54

How young do you feel. An interesting experiment would be to take about 50 pictures of people of different ages and ask someone to pick out three that are closest to their age. I wonder if I would pick out three people in their 30's or in ther 50's?
