*You're too old to play gigs when.....*

1. It becomes more important to find a place on stage for your fan than
your amp.

2. Your gig clothes make you look like George Burns out for a round of
golf.

3. All your fans leave by 9:30 p.m.

4. All you want from groupies is a foot massage and back rub

5. You love taking the elevator because you can sing along with most of
your playlist

6. Instead of a fifth member, your band wants to spring for a roadie

7. You lost the directions to the gig

8. You need your glasses to see the amp settings

9. You've thrown out your back jumping off the stage

10. You feel like hell before the gig even starts.

11. The waitress is your daughter!

12. You stop the set because your ibuprofen fell behind the speakers

13. Most of your crowd just sways in their seats

14. You find your drink tokens from last month's gig in your guitar case

15. You refuse to play without earplugs

16. You ask the club owner if you can start at 8:30 instead of 9:30

17. You check the TV schedule before booking a gig

18. Your gig stool has a back

19. You're related to at least one member in the band

20. You don't let any one sit in

21. You need a nap before the gig

22. After the third set, you bug the club owner to let you quit early.

23. During the breaks, you now go to the van to lay down

24. You prefer a music stand with a light

25. You don't recover until Tuesday afternoon

26. You hope the host's speech lasts forever.....

27. You buy amps considering their weight and not their tone or cool
factor.

28. Feeling guilty looking at hot women at the bar 'cause they're
younger than your daughter.

29. You can remember seven different club names for the same location

30. You have a hazy memory of the days when you could work 10 gigs in 7
days and could physically do it!

31. Your date couldn't make it because she couldn't find a babysitter
for the grandkids
