OK, what year was that please?

Well, let's see... If we're using my "actual" age as a calculator... that would have been '83 or '84. If, however, we are using the *new and improved!* Grandpa Mojo "age rectifier" as a calculator... um, that would have been '92 or '93?..

And BTW, it IS a rush to play "Thanks for the Memories" as a trumpet player as Bob comes out to a stadium full of people... My first gigs were at small nightclubs when I was 17 or 18... but that was my first "big one"... It was cool... and he was a VERY nice guy! Very down to earth.

Wow! What an honor!

<playing "Thanks for the memories" in headtronic unit>

I stand in awe of Master Grandpa Mojo!

<quick calc on headtronic unit -- notes go flying -- minor cuts from quarternotes, and a bruise from a long hold over a whole note... calc unit spews numbers>

That makes you what, 39? Awful young for a Grandpa!

52 here. I think. Saw jimi in one of his last concerts at the old boston garden. Not sure if it was the substance abuse or jimi and his wall of marshals but he sure did sound fine. No fireing up his guitar though. Last concert was tom waits at the orpheum in boston a couple of years ago. Man thats was a very cool show. Just can't figure out what planet he hails from.

Ok...rjt, Im from Media, PA...suburb of Philley....went West to Portland Oregon in 1981,
saw my first real concert at the Electric Factory in Philly in 1968......one night was Country Joe and the Fish, The Small Faces and Canned Heat........$3.50 ticket...and we where ****ing about it.....until we saw these guys.
By the way a local band in Philley called Mandrake Memorial had a good guitar player...Craig Anderton.

Very good! Philly was (and probably is) a pretty hot music town. Did graduate work in Florida from 81 to 85 then came out to Portland. You don't happen to be an Eagles (please no jokes about the band.... the football team is much, much older and has made lots more money) fan are you?

Take Care

..... Hell, that's the speed that I parallel park at. ....

my calculus teacher was an Ethiopian rebel (the rebellion lost and since he had to leave Ethiopia he went to school at oxford to hide) and i personally witnessed him remove his vehicle from a parallel park at 55mph so i believe you.

See what you started here, Sean? In deference to our younger members here, you'll have to admit that this forum is full of old farts. Someone with a statistical bent could avaerage out the responses and give a median age, but I'd say it's leaning towards middle age (that is, if I live to be 98; extremely doubtful).

Some of us didn't have all these neat toys to play with when we were younger. Just imagine what will be in your future.

I knew you'd do this so I wouldn't have to !

well looks like most all of us could use this:

This bread is a duplicate of a 2,000-year-old recipe used by the little known civilization of Hunza.

The Hunzas are considered to be the healthiest people on earth. Their bread is the main part of their diet. This bread is absolutely delicious.

"The Hunzas exist isolated from the rest of the world in the Himalayan Mountains where they live to be 110 to 120 years of age. They have no cancer, heart attacks or other major disorders to speak of. They are active and fit to the end of their lives. Men father children at 100 years of age and older.

Hunza Bread Recipe

* 4 cups of water
* 3.5 (three & one half) to 4 pounds of natural buckwheat or millet
flour
* 1.5 (one & one half) cups of canola oil
* 1.5 (one & one half) cups of natural unrefined sugar
* 16 ounces of honey
* 16 ounces of molasses
* 4 ounces of powdered soya milk (half cup)
* 1 teaspoon sea salt
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 2 teaspoons baking powder (non aluminium)

Grease and lightly flour cooking pan(s). Ideally use
baking trays with about 1 inch high sides. Pour batter in pan(s) half
an inch thick over the base. Bake at about 300 degrees fahrenheit (150
C.) for 1 hour. After cooking, dry the bread in the oven for two (2)
hours at a very low heat - 90 degrees fahrenheit (50 C). After it is
cooled tip out and cut into approx 2 inch x 2 inch squares. Store it
wrapped in cloth in a container.

bear in mind if you eat or share this bread in the usa you are probably breaking the law. use at your own risk. i look forward to fathering a child at 100. i hope the forum is still here.
