I play lot's of gigs, but I'm not a solo artist - I play in groups - I started this gig when I was 50 or 51 - I'd never played in this kind of setting before.

My most regular gig is with a bunch of other "old farts" (I'm the youngest by nearly 20 years shocked ). We jam at a beach in front of the surf club every Wednesday morning - donations go to the surf club and the cafe feeds and waters us at lunch time.

Great views, great and forgiving audience and a fantastic vista smile

This is an iphone recording, not our regular drummer or bass player (this bass player usually plays sax and is in his late 80's), the piano player is also in his 80's, trumpeter is late 60's - not sure about the rest but they're all older - I make no claims to fame (I'm on the 'bone and this is definitely not my best improv. frown though I am getting better, slo-oo-oo-ly... ) - we're just havin' fun.

It might not be the greatest, but you're NEVER too old to have fun, and we have a regular audience of around 80 to 100 every Wednesday morning laugh



This pool is 50m from where we play:


Part of our regular audience, gotta watch 'em, they'll steal food out of your hand, flying between your hand and your face!!! smile

You're only paranoid if you're wrong!
