and any Mudcatter who can get to Wash DC, USA is invited to drop by my once every 5 years Birthday party!..at the ages of 50 & 55, the highlight (other than the food & music)was that I stood on my head while the assemblege recited "You are old, Father William"..I COULD still do it, but there is this disc in the neck,*sigh*...wife & doctor say don't

More info on the party later...perhaps I'll just have computer connections open all day (ICQ, IRC...ect.)so even those who can't be here in the flesh can post songs they WOULD have sung... and generally cavort as usual..*grin*

Bill you out did me.

As I read thro' the thread I thought that I would put "20th August...but no presents" or something like that..

Ha then I got to your message..

Well you're as old as the woman you feel and in my case she's 47 as well.

love and happiness

As at 07.01.1999 2027Z analysis is as follows:

Total responses excluding comments etc = 64, 48 M 16F
Max 70, Min 19, Mean 46.9 Std Dev 10.5, Mode = 47

M only : n=48, x=48.5 s=10.7, bimodal at 47 and 50

F only : n=16, x=42.2 s=8.7, distribution too flat to establish mode

No surprises there given the responses to the "Where in the world.." thread.

We need to get more young people interested in Folk. Don't any of you have kids that you have taught the joys of Folk?

Well, yes, Max, I tried hard - and all three turned into punk rockers. You'll see what happens when your kids get older. Can't say I like the music, but I do get a kick out of it when kids come up to me and say, "Oh, so you're Nic's father? Like, wow!" (or whatever the expression is...).

Yes, indeed, Max. Unfortunately they have yet to grasp the joys of computer-communications.. If they became Internet savvy, we could add one M 40 and one M 38. Both good-looking, musical, married and with kids. Sorry M 33!

Well, regarding the kids musical tastes, so far I have a 13yr old and a 9 yr old who prefer folk music above all else! Actually the 13 also likes Mozart and the occasional bebop. Can't say this heaven is going to last, but I'll enjoy it while it does!!! (You should hear the nine yr old sing Griselda!)

I have three, a 20 year old theatre arts major who likes David Bowie ( gasp). And Identical twin 16 year old boys. One like Battlefield band and Stan Rogers the other likes Ramstein and Twisted Sister.

One in three ain't bad.

The distribution can be as interesting as the mean, sd, etc. So far, we have:

           decade      number male     number female
           19-29          4                1
           30-39          4                4
           40-49         16                8
           50-59         22                4
           60-70          6                0
           TOTALS        52                17

  

Gee, I thought there were more 60s and 70s here. Since Max self-identified, you may want to know that I am 51 and Dick is 69.

Two sons, ages 22 and allmost 18. They are both interested in "pop" music, the younger one likes Jewel and Fiona Appel, and the Wallflowers. The older one likes Radiohead and Morphine. The older also searches out local independent bands that he likes. Except for some Techno-head (or whatever) music the younger likes, most of what they listen to is musical to my ears, if not to my tastes. The older son has some interest in electric blues so he received Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and and John Hooker for Christmas from his Dad.

No folk music is slipped in except they both have a garage tape of their Dad's music (happily, they requested it).

Or at least I think so. I had a math teacher who screwed me up forever on calculating ages: If a seventeen-year-old train leaves Detroit headed toward Chicago in 1946 going 75 mph., how old is the other train? - or something like that. My far-too-smart,20 year-old daughter, who lives with me, assures me that I am 52. I was betting on 53...

Nope - but I did inadvertantly lie about my age - turns out I'm actually 34 - nearly 35. The grey cells must be deteriorating - thought I was 33 nearly 34. Thought you were casting an eye on F19 anyway????

Subject: RE: How Old is a Mudcatter?
From: Joe Offer
Date: 08 Jan 99 - 03:39 PM

No, F33 the 2nd o3 is that 34, I don't think I could be interested in an F 19. My daughter's older than that. I think it would feel kind of incestuous. That's one of the reasons I find it hard to understand the shenanigans of Bill Clinton. I guess there are some middle-aged men do that sort of thing all the time, but it still isn't easy for me to understand.
I wish Bill Clinton were a Republican. It wouldn't be so embarrassing.
