Gary,

Your right. I am feeling age descrimination at work on Wall Street in a technology area. Both areas are traditionally for young aggressive types.

However, when I perform on the drums I run into a much different attitude. Most young guys come up to me and are very complementary on my playing and technique like I'm some sort of novelty act.

I've never tried the lady stuff. Maybe I should revisit that, but I'm afraid of showing up at work one day with colored hair. You were very smart to start early and keep it up for all these years.
