Just supporting the best band (bar the Beatles) EVER...thanks for the great audience reparte' and connection.  I bought tickets to a GBS concert for dear friends who housed me during a visit to Olympia WA after the birth of my 1st grandson.  Keep goin', love the local songs...:O)kj

You are not alone in that age bracket. That is what amazed me at my first show. I looked around the room and there were people there from 8 to 80. Usually people have no interest in listening to the music their parents (and certainly not grand parents)  listen to and vice versa.

Hey I resemble that remark. 58 on my next birthday! My mom's first concert was GBS, experienced at age 85! The band invited her out to the bar with htem, but she declined, saying she doesn't drink beer. Can you imagine??????? I was dying!

Hello Anne, I'm a 56 french groupie. I imagine very well that "you were dying". I would have felt the same ! The age doesn't mean anything, whatever you do. I'm very glad to listen to them, and my 23 daughter is "a little tired" to hear them each time se comes home. It's funny ! since I discovered them, I listen the cds on and on, read the lyrics because I don't understand all the words, and sing their songs. It brings me joy and energy, and no one, nothing could be compared to them. Other more 55 groupies around here ?

well I'm 52. but at the show, I had more energy and did more jumping than maybe anybody else... First time as a groupie. I love the music, just can't get enough - It's like chocolate in my brain! Went to the shows, now what do I do??

Welcome aboard kijamawaus! You can be a groupie at ANY age!

What next? That's easy.

1. Get all of the music into your own collection. The live CDs are the most fun, especially the ones with the DVDs to watch.

2. Play music over and over.

3. Watch DVDs.

4. Scour this website for photos and video clips from concerts.

5. Check out the You Tube clips.

6. Scour the other threads here for the ones you like.

7. Read the boys' blogs!

8. Patiently wait with the rest of us for the birth of GBS X, the album they're assembling now.

9. Watch for more concert dates.

10. Put the May release date of "Robin Hood" on your calendar and make plans to go see it. Will Alan be a hit? Will there be GBS tunes in the score?

11. Repeat all of the above.

Welcome aboard!

Cheers,

And when your children have all grown, you'll wait by the window and wish them all back home.

Ooops! Almost forgot one of the most fun next steps ... tell everyone you know and see how many more fans you can recruit. It's easier than you'd think.

Have fun!

Hi. "it's like chocolate in may brain", good 
comparison, very good !!! I never thought about chocolate that way, but since I 
discovered them, in august 2009, it can't stop listening to them, over 
and over. They bring me energy, joy, and maybe I "threw my pains in the 
sea of no cares". In fact, it's a little special for me. At the end of 
July I learnt I had a breast cancer. I was told it was not too bad, but 
anyway it's cancer, and not very easy to deal with. Then after the first 
surgery (my mood was very good in fact), I heard GBS and it was like 
fresh air and energy, just what I needed ! I had not felt like that 
since I don't know when. I saw the end of a concert on tv, and 
immediately I wanted to know who they were, and listen their cds. I 
think they'll never play in france, what a pity ! I can only watch the 
dvd concerts. I don't listen anything else now, though I used to listen 
many different things before.  What do you do now ? Listen, watch, sing, shout, jsut like you do know.

one, two...one two three four.....

andromede,

I am glad you find joy in GBS's music. It is infectious, for sure. I hope you have continued to heal and think positive thoughts.

Girl, don’t tell me that it’s morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn
I haven’t given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn

It’s true I must be going but I swear I won’t be long
There isn’t that much ocean between Boston and St. John’s
I’m a rover and I’m bound to sail away
I’m a rover can you love me anyway?
