It might be interesting to see what age the Ovation products appeal to as well. |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | I'm in the 46 - 55 group (just) but I'd have a shot at predicting that the 46 - 55 age group (followed closely by the 36 - 45's) is the biggest group.
Or should I re-phrase that to read - 'the most populated group'.
Probably still the 'biggest' group as well. |

A favorite song is Simon's "Old Friends"... |

Slap bang in the middle, in fact. Hitting 30 in July.
Although when I was 25, I'd been playing Ovations for over 5 years and had 4 of them, so I was tempted to vote lower...

I can't believe in 3 weeks time I'm going to be officially old by OFC rules.

after all, age is only a number and I don't act it even if, sometimes, gets in my wife's nerves. Besides, when I'm at work, my colleagues tell me that they see another child, especially when I'm with the child(ren). :) I take it as a compliment :) |

I believe the ability to spend, play and sit at the PC is a right reserved for semi empty nesters. |

Location: cincinnati, ohio | I'm 56 years young. Still play out 2 to 3 times a week, work a 40 hour a week day job, and teach 12 hours of English and Writing classes a week at a local college.
In between I write and work on solo and band CDs, and sometimes I sleep - a schedule that would, I daresay, crush even some of the young whippersnappers around here.
I can't do anything about growing old, but nobody says I have to grow UP!
As one-time hometown favorite Pete Rose once said, "How can they say I've lost a step? I was never that fast to begin with!" :D |

Everyone will think I'm 27. (Right!) |

Location: Upper Left USA | In comparing notes with some of you I see the following trends:
- Learned to play as a teen because guitar was cool.
- Got married and had babies in early twenties and sold or stashed guitars.
- Kids are moving out and spare time/money flows back in.
- Need something to occupy my time and keep me out of Momma's hair! |
