You Know You’re a Mature Musician When…

Getting older is inevitable. Growing up is entirely optional!

You’ve still got the music in you, even if the knees aren’t quite what they used to be.

So, in the spirit of not taking ourselves too seriously, here are a few telltale signs that you might be getting a little more vintage than you care to admit…

---

1. The Sleeping Arrangements

You and your teeth don’t sleep together.

2. The Sock Mystery

You try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren’t wearing any.

3. Breakfast Symphony

At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you’re not eating cereal.

4. The Social Calendar

Your back goes out more than you do..

5. Morning Glamour

You wake up looking like your passport picture.

6. Getting Back on Your Feet

When getting up from a picnic blanket you look like a newborn giraffe trying to stand for the first time.

7. A Big Night Out

When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.

8. Happy Hour

When happy hour is 40 winks.

9. Your Little Black Book

Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr.

10. Feeling Lucky?

Getting “lucky” means you found your car in the supermarket car park.

11. The Morning Soundcheck

Everything hurts, and what doesn’t hurt – doesn’t work.

12. Where Did I Put Them?

You look for your glasses for half an hour and they were on your head the whole time.

13. Over the Hill?

You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don’t even remember being on top of it.

Still Rockin’!

The hair might be greyer, the knees a little creakier and the recovery time after a late gig considerably longer…

But the love of music never gets old.

And that’s what matters.

Music Has No Age Limit.

So dust off that guitar, turn up the amp and find yourself some fellow musicians who remember when albums had two sides.

Find people. Start a band. Play some gigs.

Up For A Jam — because you’re never too old to make some noise.
