Yah, used to gig back in the eighties with a Lizzy/UFO sounding band (double guitars).
Lynott even managed us, though our contract was rendered void by his untimely death six months later.

Our own material, some of which I contributed, and three or four covers per gig.
Audience would follow us from gig to gig (even the local Windsor chapter of our local Hells Angels, who were helpful on a number of occasions).

Played keys (synths) in that band and still see the remnants out gigging from time to time, but they're mainly covers now.
2005 I broke my fretting hand and pretty much quit guitar soon after that.
Everything's on PC now.
Just gone back to that after a few years and horrified by the advanc es in the DAWs I was only starting to learn even then, LOL.
I'll be a sixty year old kid this Friday, I'm expecting your card, the raising of a thumb and a glass in my direction!

P.S.
MLP's rules:-

"Rule 73.
When any MLP member mentions any woman (born a woman, not a later..., "custom shop"), it shall be assumed that RedSkwirrell saw her first."

Just mentioning so you don't fall foul of the mod's.
Though, to be fair, they'd much rather get me with a ban-hammer most days anyway.
Welcome friend.

(MLP animal characters get their own smiley-faces after so many posts.... )
