How old are you?

[dinosaur]

Check out my icon to the left...I can't remember how long these bones have been around.
I do remember listening to Greig's "Hall of the Mountain King" before the days of prog.
My 22 year-old nephew is a bass player in a metal band. I occasionally try to introduce him to names like Tony Levin, Trey Gunn, and especially Guy Sangue (Jean-Luc Ponty). So far, he's in lockstep with Myung of Dream Theater--and everyone else is irrelevant.
But I am persistent...
BTW, I'll soon be 49, going on 22.
(I do hope this doesn't start another DT bash/worship thread. I like DT, have seen them in concert, and Myung truly is awesome.)
