Location: Tampa, FL | I find the age poll kind of interesting. In an effort to better understand those results I think it might be interesting to know how long you've been playing guitar (or mandolin, or even Banjo). I think you should consider any interruption of one year or more a new start. So for me this would be less than 1 yr... |

| I started in the early sixties - '64 - and going by our demographic I bet a lot of others did too. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I too started in the 60's :( I guess that is 20+ but I think that would throw things off so I didn't vote yet. You may be able to edit your POLL, if not you might delete and start again. |

Location: Tampa, FL | The last two choices are equivalent. I would simply sum them to arrive at that total. I actually was wondering how many of the 'group' are recidivists like myself and how many are chronic offenders. I kind of expected a fair number of returning players. But in anycase, I think the results will be interesting. |

You won't believe this

But my stomach tells me to write you instead

Sumpthin's wrong with my gut
A horrible stench just shot out of my butt

If I passed some gas
Now I have blisters all over my nether-regions
