Yeah well get your arse to the UK because a sampled bass just doesn't cut it in the mix! or live!

BETA, I will give you a demo if you want. Can I have your email address?[/QUOTE]

Check your PM box :)

There are plenty of musicians whose careers took off in their 30s.

Go for it !

^ examples would help. We seem to be bone dry on examples.

Willie Nelson got in later than expected BUT he had already written and sold songs to others prior.

I DO share the same creed that you might regret it if you don't even try.

Even if it Peters out it's still great for the soul

I love when people use LMGTFY. That's some of the best ways to shut anons, without trying to sound or being offensive.

miraclesteinway: Later (in the weekend) I'll answer your email. I need time to think about it, and this is the worst week to think. :-)

Bill Withers didn't get his career going until his 30's as well.

BETA, I know that I rode too sharp in the vocals, it's because I couldn't hear the playback very well. I suppose it's better than going flat.... although I want to re-do it, it grates a bit.

Funny. But yeah. Kinda meant in popular music, not in general. .. otherwise it'd include virtually every real professional in general fields.

because at the end of the day, music is still ageist. classical music is the same, disgustingly ageist. perhaps jazz is different.

it's not ageist in that old people don't do it, but unless these old people have been famous since the age of say, 21 at the latest, there's basically no chance because you're already judged if you 'haven't made it by 21' - in fact agents will rarely listen to you if you haven't made it by 21. Whatever made it means (easy to quantify in popular music, not so easy to quantify in jazz and classical).

Things may change but I can't see it happening right now.

You shouldn't play music to be famous or to have the people's recognition. You should play music because you like music. Fuck people's opinion.

Exactly!
