Who's older than dirt? Poll

Post by Danny Hall »

I imagine this has been done before but not recently.

How many of you are just kids. I mean like under 50.

I'm 59 for another week and a half. So I'm 50ish.

I imagine 51-69 is 50ish. At least that's my call

If you're 70 or older y'all are older than dirt.

I'm 61, but, sometimes I feel like I'm 101.
Amazingly though, when I play my steel or drive my Corvette, I feel like 21, again.

How many of you are just kids.

My children are in their 50's, so I guess they are still "just kids."
Myself?...well I'm just at the puberty stage. My secret was to marry a woman who would get older much faster than I would.
When I was 36 I married a gal who was just 18 years old... and at the time I was twice her age.
It sure nuf' keeps me young knowing that I will never be twice her age again.

pair of Peavey Vegas 400's; Peavey NV112; Webb 614E with matching extension cabinet; Fender Twin Reverb and 3 cats.

They laughed when I sat down to play, cause' somebody pulled my chair away...

Larry you should be ashamed of yourself. When you graduated High School that girl was still in diapers!
