To me - worrying about age is often an excuse to not take the risk of rejection (it's too late for me, I'm too old, so I may as well just quit...).Set your goal and go after it with all that you have and all that you are - and trust in your own power.Sometimes, my humour gets taken a little too seriously Debra.My tongue was firmly in both cheeks. and that's no easy feat!

I will be 55 pretty soon, but you know what they say, "55 is the new 54." In other words, I'm old as freakin' dirt.

Well I'm 350 years old (in dog years) and looking forward with enthusiasm to the next 350, and then the next after that. Now, where the heck did I put my Viagra? Er, I mean -- ahem. Cough Cough.

Methinks it could be . . . ,Suz

wow...I'm still 25 years old... I can write many songs, but however it's the promotion of the songs that I am having some problems... especially my new style of songs which has never been heard in the music industry up to now...

I could not say if "old Bill" does any actual writing. I believe those songs you see his name on came into his publishing firm and the deal that was offered back included "old Bill" as an author. This was the case many years ago when a friend of mine got a publishing offer back from him. I believe he was supposed to get 100% of everything for the first five years. We were inexperienced and could have misunderstood the 100% part. Perhaps he was referring to the publisher's part. But for sure Bill's name was going on the piece as co-author if my friend accepted the deal. He did not accept.
