you're never too old. i don't know how many of you jemsters ever heard of the great blues guitarist Ronnie Earl but he was already a special needs teacher when he saw muddy waters play up here in Boston. he was in his early twenties when he headed to texas and hooked up with the then undiscovered jimmie and stevie ray vaughn. there is a picture of him playing with stevie inthe book "stevie ray vaughn-caught in the crossfire". ronnie"s first gig was with the blues band "Roomful of Blues" replacing another blues great Duke Robillard. its NEVER too late.
