I'm exasperated. I live in a small town, and it's nearly impossible to find people my age or a little younger to play music with. I've tried ads on CL, cards at the music shop, word of mouth. No, I'm not a musical pariah. Part of the problem is that I'm 50, and the number of rockers wanting to jam seems to be very low. Part of the problem is that I do not want to play country. So I've decided to give up looking for a band, and I'm just going to put all of my energy into recording. I love being in a band and working together to make that magic music. But I've got to be realistic--there's no one to play with around here (yes, I've checked neighboring communities too).
