Too old to R'n'R ?

Hi there,

I'm now in my fifties and thanks to this amazing site/forum, just a few years ago I  (re)discovered my passion for the music I grew up with and have never stopped to love.
In fact for many many years I thought PROG had died and tried not to think much about it as to not so deepen my sorrow.

 I confess to have long survived  (musically speaking) on a strict but rich diet of a handful of bands from the old times (you can guess, can't you: VDGG, ... ?) spiced, so to say, with just a few collected from the 80s (TALK TALK f.e.) .
And, thank God, lots of female singers: SANDY DENNY, Joni Mitchel, Tracy Chapman, R. L. Jones, etc etc

But then I found PA !
Although I registered back in 2011, and stop by the website since then almost everyday, only  very recently posted for the first time and today here I am presenting myself.

You all out here are responsible for my regaining the pleasure of listening to new GOOD MUSIC, and that has bettered my life so unexpectedly.
 I am very grateful to this wonderful community of music lovers and plan to stay around and share my pleasure with you for many years to come.

Some Albums I Love:

Fish out of Water - from the master CS
Cordon Bleu - Solution
PP & TAAB
All Genesis up until (including) "And then there were three"
Quadrophenia
The first five Led  Zepp
Everything from 2nd fase Talk Talk
Transatlantic - Whirldtour
Anathema - anything they have made and I listened to
Anekdoten - same as above

ask me more and I'll tell you

See you around, everybody

actually, my path was somewhat similar - I loved prog in the 1970s, and kept on listening to a few bands from that era, but thought that prog was confined to that time and that it had really died out. Since re-discovering my passion for prog a few years ago, and finding this site, things have changed for me. First, it's great to have a community that shares your passions, and second, it's great to hear about all these new bands that are keeping the flame alive and pushing the boundaries.

You too, Terri, thanks for your welcome

And I second your words about "the Flame", saying besides:
What doesn't Progress, Regresses, so - en avant !!

See you around

Welcome to PA, which is indeed the place to come and help keep progressive rock alive

Bem-vindo, José. É sempre bom ter por cá mais compatriotas apaixonados pelo Prog 

You're right UMUR, it surely is, and I'm so glad I found it
Thanks

Viva Samuel,
obrigado pelo acolhimento, este PA é um espanto
See you around

Yeah, I'm old too. Ask anybody, they'll tell you.

Hello José,
