One of the first things I noticed as a young man who was rather graciously given the chance to perform with a few of the much older jazz players out there was that those cats, some well into their 70s, were STILL enjoying the art and practice of woodshedding.

And, not a single one of them suffered from sedentary mental dementia, either. Sharp as tacks, just slower to get out of the chair kinda thang.

I'll never forget one of those oldsters, a trombonist first and foremost who could also play every other instrument in the bigband, or so it seemed, his term for "Alzheimer's" --

He called it, "OldTimer's Disease" - and then would usually follow that up with the old, "You gotta use it, or you will lose it!"

Ever witness an 80 year old Judokan or Sensei on the mat, taking out handfuls of much younger attackers and never breaking a sweat?
