        I'll be over 45 in March. My PM at the last gig (a contractor) was 56.

          Hear this Robert Zimmerman

          I wrote this song for you
          'Bout a strange young man named Dylan
          with a voice like sand and glue ...
          ...scratched this world to pieces as he comes on like a friend
          ...but a couple of songs from his old scrap book could send him home again

            I'm sat with a 59 year old and a 60 year old contractor. God hopes I'll have hung up my keyboard long before that age. Makes me feel quite sprightly !

                Why? - why not be happy that this 'young' lucrative career has the potential to keep you going to close to retirement
