Centrifuge,
Your door busting prosaic posts are quite insightful and entertaining. You really want to work your way into this clan, not? :-)
I can only appreciate it! We already had our coming out's in the past, but these posts are sadly lost during a server migration in the past, but I'll recap mine a bit reflecting yours:
I am 54 years old, 55 to be in December...
I live in Rotterdam, The Netherlands
I have a G.E.D. (Good Enough Diploma, Autodidact)
And music is a big part of my life too, Listening to it, to be exactly (Old school rocker, Zappa, ACDC, SOAD. Iron Maiden, Dio, Rammstein, Die Antwoord)
Nice to see you have made such a career out of it.. I had some ambitions when I was young, wanting to play the guitar and shred the world to pieces, but then electronics and computers crossed my path in the early '80 and that is where I stayed up to now... In the mean time I got married, raised and launched 2 fantastic boys (which both play guitar ;-) ), got divorced, met another woman, lost her again, and am now living life on my own which, unexpectedly, seems to work out quite well...
So, I'm also just trying to relax and live a happy, humble life before God calls me home.
Stay safe, and I hope that foot heals soon,
Bier!
P.S. Positive vote from me!
