I hit my late 20's early 30's right when Grunge hit, and I was SO happy to see 80's hair metal go down!!!!!!!!]]> News s1120 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/potential-volunteer-gig-updated/paged/3/#post-377293 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/potential-volunteer-gig-updated/paged/3/#post-377289 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:15:14 +0000
She did teach me how to make authentic Southern U.S. style biscuits and Fried Chicken, though, so not all is lost. :lol:
Remember... a 75 year old was 30 when the Beatles hit... thats not that old.

Tune your set for them. As for what to play... Well going my my parents... My mom and dad would be 75 if they were still with us... but Mom listened to classic country, and Dad... well he turned me on to the Beatles, and Moody blues at a real young age, and eaven Black Sabbith in the early 70's!! so... 60's rock is fair game IMHO. Remember... a 75 year old was 30 when the Beatles hit... thats not that old.

As for all the planning and work you have done Roy.... Have you thought of getting someone to sing for you? Will that help? Remember... a nice looking lady singer will always get the older guys at least paying attention!!!]]> News s1120 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/potential-volunteer-gig-updated/paged/3/#post-377269 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/potential-volunteer-gig-updated/paged/3/#post-377246 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 02:49:13 +0000
