| I've read many threads pointing out that a great deal of Forumites have a bit more gray hair than they used to. Are there many youngsters balancing this out? I was going to set the bar at 30, but that would make me an old man as well. How about under 40? |

>>>a great deal of Forumites have a bit more gray hair than they used to<<<
Lawrence, from what I can tell, this phenomenon has absolutely *nothing* to do with age, and *everything* to do with the "instrument of choice"...
as for the subject, I'll be turning 65 on March 20, 2032.

Is there a category for all those players who are under 40, but who also have more gray hair than many of those over 40?

| I'm 32 and not grey (yet) so I'm bringing down the average slightly. |

I'm 25, and still have all my hair, which is more than my dad could say at my age, or his dad, or his dad, etc...

While technically I'm under 40, I'm about 90 in liver years from a previous drinking problem!!  |

I've been 38 for a week now. So far everything is working out just fine. Although, now when I have to fill out those little survey cards, I no longer fit into that 30-35 slot. You'd be surprised how old that makes a guy feel!

| I happen to be under 40 as well. On the subject of hair, I have noticed a tendency among steel players young and old alike to have beards or moustaches, but I am drifting here. |

| I'm 26. I have plenty of hair on my head, but those Swedish genes make the facial hair patchy at best! |

How about this, I'm 25 AND I wear a beard! Well, actually a goatee (sp?) or fu-man-chu (sp?) or whatever the heck you call it.

I just turned 10 years old for the 5th time... It helps when you stop counting at 10 and start over. That's 462 in steel guitar years.
Really though, it was heartwarming this weekend as I struggled snowplowing my way down the ski slope (I ski real real slow), my 13 yr old daughter sails by me 50 miles an hour on her snowboard hollering at me "get out of the way!!!". She's gonna pay for that though, as I've given up my weekend practicing for her "boarding". Fortunately there's only 3 more weeks of snow left in Western New York (so they say...). |

| I'll be 58 on March the 19th. At 40, I still had black hair, did not need glasses to play, and could pick up my D-10 MSA in one hand and my Fender Twin in the other and go with it. I've changed a little in the last 18 years but, I love to play as much as ever. I'm still learning. Maybe I'm just a slow learner. |
