Red wine always gives me a headache, even if I limit it to two or three bottles.
Edit:
On a more serious note, something someone sent me recently made me wonder if, at my ripe old age it would be worth trying to learn the guitar and if so, what type. My missus has an old (about 36 years old) acoustic in the garage.

Grampy it's good to have a guitar available to try. First try than decide if you want to buy/steal one, acoustic or electric. Does the old guitar have nylon strings (classic/spanish) or metal strings (country)? The latter one usually has a somewhat lesser neckwidth which usually makes it a bit easier to play/learn.

My stepfather is in his late 60's and he started learning to play guitar about 2 years ago.He's become very accomplished with chordal structure and rhythm and is now learning to play some lead as well (kinda scary for me coz I lent him my Les Paul copy and he luuurves it to death!!!)
So, to answer your question: No, you are NOT too old to learn!!!!! Now get your arse to FATAPE'S BAR and help yourself to whatever tickles ya fancy (or whatever fancies ya tickle!!!)
C'MON AUSSIE

Great Christie Goodwin pics!! Very nice images of Joe, and clearly all vids and pics of Allen are gonna be hairballs...
Cheese - ripper 1990 video, don't you just love the hairy chest, the cap, the stance, etc?? Pure magic that era.
Lovely NAMM video too, thanks for that.
Pip and Axe - nice vids!! Keep 'em coming.
Grampy Steve -I thought you already played guitar. I picked it up nearly two years ago in my mid-40's you can have a crack at anything anytime it doesn't matter how old you are. Having said that I still play only terrible open chords but I do enjoy it.
js1200js1000 - well done mate, keep it up. I bet you feel fantastically healthy. I shouldn't tell you I am taking it easy today after a friend's 50th birthday party last night, 4.00am finish, lots of Madonna impersonations, one handed pushups, you name it, and lots of wine.
Flash - you are indeed a miracle, a saviour of the universe :0)
Happy Sunday peeps!!

Hi everyone, just to express how amazed i feel about this new album "BS&WW", I hadn't heard from Satch such a powerful, versatile & emotive album maybe since Crystal Planet album
Don't get me wrong folks, all of the albums are exceptional, but this last one definitely has an special feeling for me and I imagine for many other fans that are really close to Satch's music
I hope soon we will be able to enjoy a Master Piece from Joe of acoustic records, don't ask me why but since I saw Joe playing the acoustic guitar on the "Satch Tapes", since then I haven't stopped thinking about how would it be an Album from Joe adding a lot of acoustic guitar and of course combining with the electric stuff if possible[b/]
Greetings and see you on January 2011 at Mexico City[b/]

The Birmingham gig was amazing, everything was the same as manchester except from he swapped surfing for summer song in the encore.
He was struggling with feedback on the mic when he was singing BBM but it still rocked!

Thanx for the feedback peeps.
Donkey, I guess Flashy's link touched on what you meant but would you care to elaborate?
I think that the choice between acoustic and electric is for the moment dictated by economics, can't afford to buy a new (even new to me) git so it's off to rummage in the garage I go. One never knows what Santa might bring though!

Grampy - same thought process as me. So I bought a 2nd hand Fender acoustic for $150 on ebay and it's been just fine. Then I got two no-name 2nd hand electrics which are just fine to learn and noodle on.
When I can rip out Ten Words, Surfing and all the other Satch tunes to huge audiences with awesome acclaim I'll get a good guitar.
Heads up Frenchies it's your turn!!!!! Pics and videos please don't forget Skiparoo....

@oxley11,
He's playing the same pitches after tuning down the guitar a half step. So, if he plays a blues in C for example, it sounds like a blues in B, you know what I'm sayin'? More specifically, he plays a G# minor riff, but it sounds like G minor (a very common guitar key), a different G minor I might add.
