How Old Are B&B Active Members?

Just turned 39 yesterday.
I bet the younger members wished they could shave with their phone.
64 as of last month - still feel and act like my 40's until I first get out of bed in the morning - ouch!
34 here.
I remember when i was growing up and ‘30 years ago’ would mean when Led Zeppelin were around.
Now it means when Backstreet Boys were around.

Glad to see that over 25% of us are in your 20s and 30s. You will be the ones that will carry the message to the next generation.

Not to get specific about numbers, but here's a hint: I had a Sony Walkman before they had different models of Sony Walkmans ;-) Yes, that old.
Actually, I think the first American Walkman was the second Walkman. They had one in Japan that was sort of a high-end miniature field recorder or something. But yeah, I remember getting that thing and sitting in the car and just marveling it. This will seem comical in retrospect, but at the time it almost seemed like magic that something so small could play a tape. The demo tape that came with it was wonderfully cheesy. I still remember this sort of electric funk calypso song. The tape wasn't really so much about the music but about demonstrating the impressive dynamic range of the player, so the music was a lot like the early stereo music recorded on albums in: "Living Stereo" with names like "Dyamic Percussion" and "Bongos Reeds & Brass" and "The Electrodynamic Sound" or whatever.
Good lord... everything lives forever on the internet. Here is that song in cheesy stereophonic glory. Note how the instruments pan back and forth to let you know you're listening in S-T-E-R-E-O (lol)

All too close when I look both ways. Actually was referring to a portable transistor.So you must be the 100yo member!

I remember those. They had an interesting ‘smell’ to them when in use.
Yes! I had forgotten that but can smell it now.
63 as of November '19....
I remember when families only had radios , the tv was not yet sold . My granddaughter asked me what I had in my hand , it was a small transistor radio . She had never seen one.
Nice app for listening to old radio shows with full casts of actors
There was a beauty to the simplicity of life then. Sometimes I feel like my head will explode from hyper-input.
