Age and occupation (old & new)

[maceos]

I saw a thread in the bass forum that was interesting that I thought would be fun here. How old are you and what is your occupation?

I'm 31. I work for a large broker company supporting their backend computer systems.

Oh, and I'm a Macintosh freak

no not really,I work with people with Autism.

I didn't realize what a bunch of old farts you lot are

 

[kbaim]

no not really,I work with people with Autism.

also known as bass players and drummers

Seriously though, my former bass player (GERRY) had a son w/ Asbergers (form of autism).

When I first started jamming with Gerry, I took him to a Laker game, and on the drive he started talking about his son and how he could never take him to an arena because all the commotion would just freak him out. And besides, he had no interest in sports whatsoever.

Fast forward about a year later, I gave Gerry 2 tix to a game, he took his son and crossed his fingers. BAM. his son (11) absolutely loved it, and now lives and breathes the Lakers, as well as plays basketball all the time now. Thereby giving gerry and his son a gift that will last them forever.

And me a great feeling of being a part of that.

Brentrocks,

[Axis Sport]

40, Sales, I sell blocks of hours on private business jets.

Fronted and played guitar in the same rock band from the time I was 13 until I was 27. Still love to play, but the wife, kids, cats and dog are now my audience. The two things that I have always loved, is playing guitar and flying airplanes, I am blessed to be able to do both.

 

[GWDavis28]

Well I just turned 40 this summer and I am a Mechanical Designer working for a major defense contracter here in Massachusetts. I'm married with 2 girls 3 and 6 and they're awesome. They love looking at and playing dad's guitars, but only when they are with me. Otherwise it's hands off. I'm sure that will change when they become teenagers.

I have been a want to be guitarist since I was 18 and since getting my EBMM I've gotten a little bit better, very little mind you though.

Koog's who you working for man???
