I stopped into one of my favorite music stores today, a place I've been patronizing since the 80's, and I noticed that the sales guys (all of whom I have known for years), treating me like the store's elder statesman. I actually liked it for some reason. I had a long conversation with the Meinl cymbals sales rep, and got that vibe from him too. I found myself giving a couple of younger drummers advice there also. They seemed to appreciate it. I also advised a couple of sellers on craigslist and Reverb on better ways to advertise their gear.
Feels strange in a way, but not bad. It seems like I'm getting respect for my experience and wisdom as I reach my autumn years.
