I Made My First Music Video At 60!
Watch this postThis is a message that I hope inspires other 60+ musicians. I am a real 60+ senior who and has been a struggling musician for many years. When I lost my wife to Cancer I withdrew from the music industry and thought my dream was over. But this June I produced my first YouTube video of a song dedicated to Mother Nature. It was such an inspiring experience that I wanted other 60+ seniors to know that it's never too late to pursue the things you love!
Here's my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGiWolvE_gY

I too have been a struggling amateur musician all my life whilst working for the man. Now I have recently retired, I and my band of octogenarians make music and gig as often as possible.
We played in Dusseldorf last March and are looking at a few dates in Los Angles in 2020. As well as appearing locally here in the UK, we are recording our second album at present. I do agree with the 'you're never too old', philosophy. I hope you continue to make more music for a long time to come. You don't mention other fellow musicians. Try to involve yourself with other like-minded people. There is nothing like the camaraderie of a band.
You are indeed an inspiration
