when a new car costs as much as your first house. (it happened to me)

musicwise-

you remember that the biggest decision when purchasing a new strat was the color?

when rock guys wouldn't touch a telecaster because it was a "country" guitar

when you turned your low power tube amp very loud, heard the break-up, and thought you blew the speaker

when people actually had bands at their wedding instead of dj's

your thoughts?

When policemen look like your kids......

musicwise...when you forget the words to the 3rd verse of a song and the chords to the bridge.

:arrow: For the price of a gallon of gasoline today, I could have bought: 1 gallon of gas, 1 pack of cigarettes, a six-pack of beer, and a Big Mac & fries in 1969. :shock:

When you read the topic and posts and by the time you get ready to write, forget what the thread was all about.

I had bagels for breakfast this morning.

musicwise- when you see the mosh pit starting you go get a beverage :lol:

For me its when I try and watch or listen to a music video by a new young artist and want to laugh when they start talking about love and life. And I think, what the he..y does someone that age know about life and love...but then I look back at the stuff I listened to and the associated videos and want to laugh and say what the he..y did we know either. :lol:

Here's one I just encountered on a retail website:

A person from Canada orders an item from the U.S. and the delivery charges are twice the cost of the item.

Saturday morning, 5 AM and you're getting up to go to work when years ago you'd be just getting home from Friday night at the pub around this time.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

... when I remember that I paid $90 for my first car ('56 Chevy).

... when I remember that I paid only $6,500 for my first house - two-story 1895 vintage farmhouse on an acre and a half with a two-car garage that was only 6 years old.

... when I remember that my first brand new pickup truck cost me $8,000 and I really DID think - this is more than I paid for my house!

... when I remember that I turned 21 in Vietnam and the guys there threw me a pretty nice party.

... when I look at my son and daughter and then look at their two grandsons each... and two of the grandson are learning to play the guitar.

... when I realize that it really IS time to start selling guitars and amps.

Sigh... :?

I wonder if that has more to do with the number of passing beers, rather than the number of passing years.
