Although there are young spring chickens in the PP crowd, my hunch is that on average, the age of both band members in the genre and the fan base is increasing.
As I sit here typing with my reading glasses on (and trying to avoid work, obviously) looking like a granny with a cheap silver chain to hang the glasses around my neck when I'm not using them, I think that I would love to sport much more metal
glasses chains. So instead of lanyards with band or festival names and logos on them, how about bands bring some custom made neck bands for glasses to PP to sell? How about ProgPower XI neck bands for glasses with band logos inscribed around the edge?
Think how awesome it would be for aging singers in bands to wear their own bands' glasses chain around their neck when struggling to read the lyric sheets taped to the floor ... or for some of the more senior guitarists out there (Hi Matt Crooks!
) to represent with black, skull covered glasses chains while they make an effort to change a broken string!
