Too Old To Rock?

[rpeckyno]

I'm really glad I read through all the replies here. It is pretty inspiring to hear everyone's encouragement!! (I suspect there are actually many many many of us in about the same situation).

I will add that - as a keys player, I find that as the years go on, after every gig, I begin to ask myself why I did not learn guitar instead...

Please note that this thread is four years old and the OP hasn't returned here since 2018.

But I was wondering, why would you rather have been a guitar player? Aren't the roles of keys and guitar rather similar in a band? (Well if you're not in Deftones).

even more bands than ever will be willing to play for next to nothing, and we'll have finally hit the bottom.

The joy you give and get might not pay the bills but its wonderful currency, and in those terms it sounds to me like you're a wealthy man. Never hang up your pick!

YIKES! - I was just on thread about the boost in wedding gigs so maybe that's another alternative (and joyous) way to earn and play?
