Chromium's thread got me thinking about where I was at earlier in my life, and I thought it might be insightful and fun to learn where everyone was at, say, half your current age.
My number is 28 (I'm 56) and I was already working with Al, and had just received my first gold album. That year I signed endorsements with Corder, DW, Remo and Simmons. I was single, and working days (between tours) at Westwood One. I also played with L.A. rockabilly scenester Rip Masters. I had no idea what the future would bring, or that I would have such long-term relationships. I certainly couldn't have imagined the Al gig lasting for what is now more than half my life. The Westwood One job lasted 14 years, and the Rip gig is still going strong. In fact, I'm recording with Al's band today, and gigging with Rip tonight!
