24. And because apparently I have nothing better to do, I made a histogram. Not all the ages will be totally accurate since I didn't factor in birthdays, but I did add the appropriate number of years since the post, so each individual age should be correct within a year.

Just old enough to have seen the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in '64, but not old enough to remember what I saw ;-)
Hear my latest album, "Celestial" featuring a combination of Mullen SD12 and Synthesizers:

Hear my Pedal Steel Only playlist featuring Mullen G2 SD12 on covers like Candyman, Wild Horses, Across the Universe & more...

I'm 56. After a few years of slide,(about two years ago) I ventured into the Pedal Steel. I am a keyboardist and use my knowledge of theory when I sit down to the Pedal. AND now, I'm a "Lifer". Happy Birthday to all of you.
