Mod66 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I’m 68 and still ‘’Living for the Weekend’’ I’m doing as many events now than when I was 17. Am I the oldest on Soul Source? Paul AKA Mod66 1
Lionelonthevinyl Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) If you look at the birthdays at the bottom of the forums section there are loads of folk well into there 60s. Are they still active at events etc I'm not sure....I would say your still just a slip of a lad and good luck to to you if your still enjoying it. I have to say that at events/niters there seems lots who are well into there 60,s even 70s, but I know the scene does take it out of you so there possibly a lot younger!!! Kind regards....Rob Edited October 24, 2017 by Lionelonthevinyl
Popular Post Robbk Posted October 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted October 25, 2017 I'll be 71 next month. m Most of my close family lives well into their 90s or early 100s. So, I expect to be around a while. I'm still working, and I live each year at regular intervals in 5 countries on 2 continents. So, I move regularly. I still lift free weights almost every day, still run, swim ski, and played ice hockey until I was 50. Sadly, I don't buy records anymore (probably because I will live to be over 100, and will need the money. Can't attend all-nighters anymore (mostly because I'm seldom in The UK. But, sometimes I pull an all-nighter drawing cartoons for a heavy deadline. 4

Zoomsoulblue Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Brian Rae - still on it at 74, always good for a chat about the old days - who played what record etc etc, I remember years ago I cornered Russ W and Brian ran out of questions of who played what at the Casino , in the early days 73 / 74 - someone really needs to interview all theses jocks get the history written down - legends 1
