Saw this somewhere...For Aging Musicians (and those that just need a laugh)...feel free to add to the list (if you can remember any more !?!)
p.s.- I sure am enjoying that new light for my music stand !!


1. It becomes more important to find a place on stage for your fan than for your amp.

2. Your gig clothes make you look like George Burns out for a round of golf.

3. All your fans leave by 9:30 p.m.

4. All you want from groupies is a foot massage and back rub.

5. You love taking the elevator because you can sing along with most of your play list.

6. Instead of a fifth member, your band wants to spring for a roadie.

7. You don't know (or care) who any of the new bands are.

8. You need your glasses to see the amp settings.

9. You've thrown out your back jumping off the stage.

10. You feel like hell before the gig even starts.

11. The waitress is your daughter.

12. You stop the set because your ibuprofen fell behind the speakers.

13. Most of your crowd just sways in their seats.

14. You find your drink tokens from last month's gig in your guitar case.

15. You refuse to play without earplugs.

16. You ask the club owner if you can start at 8:30 instead of 9:30.

17. You check the TV schedule before booking a gig.

18. Your gig stool has a back.

19. You're related to at least one member in the band.

20. You don't let any one sit in.

21. You need a nap before the gig.

22. After the third set, you bug the club owner to let you quit early.

23. During the breaks, you now go to the van to lay down.

24. You prefer a music stand with a light.

25. You don't recover from a Saturday night gig until Tuesday afternoon.

26. You hope the host's speech lasts forever.....

27. You buy amps considering their weight and not their tone or cool factor.

28. Feeling guilty looking at hot women at the bar 'cause they're younger than your daughter.

29. You can remember seven different club names for the same location ...

30. You have a hazy memory of the days when you could work 10 gigs in 7 days and could physically do it

31. Your set list is dance able.

32. You think "homey" means cozy and warm

33. You have to look over your glasses to check your PA connections.

34. You're playing the same venue in three months and you ask the club owner if you can leave your amp!

35. Most of the band members are a lot younger than you.

36. Your son is waiting for the gig to end to drive you and your stuff home, then go back out and party...

37. Your date couldn't make it because she couldn't find a sitter for the grandkids...

38. In consideration of your age, the audience requests some British invasion.

39. On all out of town gigs you draw straws to see who the driver will be coming home.

40. You start listing your truss as a "business expense".

41. You forget to take your Flowmax so all sets that night are only 15 minutes long.

42. When you get a "Cease and Desist" letter from the Spandex co.

43. When you play 2 nights in a row, and the next day your body aches like you played in the Super Bowl!

44. Or, you play a Wednesday night gig and call into work sick on Thursday and Friday..

45. When the only "Stones" you care about are in your gallbladder or kidney.

46. You have to charge extra money if there are any steps to climb.

47. Your hearing has deteriorated so badly that you actually ask the guitar player to "turn himself up.

48. You call out the next song only to have someone remind you played it 10 minutes earlier.

49. Your drugs are keeping you alive rather than killing you.

50. You worry more about breaking a hip than being hip.

51. Musicians half your age are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or have appeared on postage stamps.

52. The only white powder to be found amongst the band members is foot talc.

ROCK ON!!!

When people who used to watch you play in your early days disappear to raise a family, then reappear 20 odd years later with their KIDS who are now of drinking age! This happened to me last night!

62. Uhhhh... you forget #62
63. Instead of worrying about being confronted with a Love Child out on the road, you're worried the bartender might be your love Grandchild.
64. You have to choose between your Musicians Union Dues and your AARP membership.
65. You stop bitching about whether you'll ever get another BMI check and instead worry if you'll ever have another BM.

Now that is customer loyalty! How cool!!!!


You know you're getting too old for gigging when the pop and crack of your knees comes out the PA as you walk on stage. And the audience thinks your drummer is tuning up.

Love this! I'm printing it.

68. While on stage, you can't remember where you put your set list.

69. The drink you keep on stage with you is Alka-Seltzer.

70. Your stories begin with "I wrote this song 30 years ago..." (where has the time gone?)

71. You're late to the gig because you couldn't get out of the restroom.

72. When your female fans remove their tops, you wish they would leave them on.

you take you two dogs out for a walk and put both leashes one dog.

MOKER--

SOME GOOD ONES HERE

I changed a couple:

3. All your fans leave by 9:30 p.m. (30 minutes later you get the guitar string changed)

8. Your (new glasses don’t help you) see the amp settings.

9. You've thrown out your back jumping off the stage. (And had to have stitches like JIMMY BUFFET did in Australia recently)

12. KILLER, FUNNY

20. (Nobody wants to) sit in anymore.

24. You prefer a music stand with a light. ( And a 4X Magnifying glass)

29 The Truth!

46. My friend JIMMY DOES THIS!

49 YO!

86. You walk on stage and realize that you forgot to get your guitar out of the car. You get it out of the car and then spend 15 minutes squinting at the tuner before you're able to start the set.

87. You make the soundman come on stage, unplug and remove any wires you need to step over "in case you trip."

Both true stories.

88. You walk on stage and realize that you forgot to get your guitar out of the car. You go back to the car to get it, get in, and drive home.

91. You wake up alone on stage only to learn everyone has gone home and your gig is over.

One of the coolest threads ever, Moker! ehh #92.

#93. You start to find "I can't get no satisfaction" offensive and find yourself suggesting to the band - hey, how about we try some smooth jazz pieces next time?

#94. The girls approaching you after the gig ask about your son's and daughter's name.

#95. You start to refuse every line refering to sex in your co-writing sessions, with "nah, can't write THAT!".

This is just the best thread ever!! I am absolutely crying with laughter.

#96....Your frontman sings his best songs in G.....and you've played the whole set....in B......(just because it "felt right")

Oh, God....these are hilarious....bring 'em on!!

Food fat causes the stomach to empty more slowly than either carbohydrates or protein and it imparts satiety - the satisfied feeling you have after eating. If you reduce your fat intake below 20% of total energy intake, you will get hungry quicker.

Anyone want to put this list into one numbered page? Also, it would be helpful to know who wrote their own above and who got them elsewhere so we can properly credit. (I wrote mine, but I know Moker got his list elsewhere at the start). I may put them in the JPF newsletter and then ask others to log on and add to it. Perhaps we can create a book full of them! = )

Any volunteer?
