After 10 years, I guess it's time to show my face

Bill, you look almost exactly the way I thought you would look . . . 10 or 15 years ago.

That pic is causing what is referred to as cognitive dissonance.

I have to agree with the majority here, I thought you were 50, a bit overweight and with some gray hair. Isn't that what all audiophiles look like?

Well, that's what I look like, but I'm 63.

My wife says that your sneakers put you in the 37-40 range. She puts her guess at 37, but then changed to 40 and now won't commit, so no tubes for her!

But you know that 60 is the new 50, right?

Well, she should have stayed at 37, as that is the right answer. I'll be 38 in June .
I really like the 31-32 guess', I'm flattered. For those who guessed above 40, NO SOUP FOR YOU!! And as for the "radio face" comment.....uuhhhhh... you're right. No argument here.

37 it is.

Sorry, I don't have a picture of my wife in this computer. She is much younger and a hole hell of a lot "prettier" than I am.

I am 37 as well, but...well.... lets just say that I think am going to take up sniff'n solder smoke too.

Wow Bill, you look quite the dashing young man.. I certainly pictured you as older and stockier.
More you live the more you learn.

Internet...a funny thing ! I'll bet most would picture others buy their internet name, ie....Bill Baker, old school sounding American name....Kinda old, and maybe plump...school teacher kind of name!

Me...Flintstone, I'll bet everyone would think I look like Fred Flintstone.

I'll have to say this kinda fooled me too. I would have guessed mid forties, and of course with the proper amount of excess weight we have come to expect at that age. But instead, you almost look like a movie star. Maybe you're in the wrong business.

Guy's, that's not him, that's his younger brother. Bill paid him 10 bucks to pose next to some speakers.

Levi · « **Reply #34 on:** 18 Mar 2007, 01:44 am »

Could this be his picture 10 years ago? He said he is 37. 10 years ago so that's 47

Bua ha ha ha

I got you there Bill.

Except that the Adagio speakers and about everything else in the picture is less than a year old. I am certainly not that good with photo shop. Then there is Dan's SWLP with the power supply that was only 5 days old in the picture.

My brother really is 22 and getting married in two months. I have a daughter that is 20, a son that is 14 and the twins are 9 in May. I also have two sisters, 30 and 27.

Actually, I am wearing a Response Audio shirt (not T-shirt) under the jacket. Beer is in the fridge. What kinda impression would I give my cutomers if I was working with a beer on my hand?

How tall? 6 foot.

My dad, also Bill Baker, is skinnier than I am and only about 5' 9". Being skinny runs in the family. So does a full head of hair

I owe you a beer. Or maybe glasses?

Jeffrey: Wow, you look exactly like a good family fried we have here locally.

I can say that Jim looks nothing like I thought he would. Then again I'm the nearly 50, balding/gray, chunky, geeky guy.
