How true. My friend James Burton is either touring or in the studio almost every day of the year. He's currently doing a tour in Europe. This one is with Dennis Jale and the TCB band, starting in Denmark January 10.

I think Glen Campbell just did a farewell tour. Even though he has fairly advanced case of Altheimers, he could still outplay most of today's "youngsters".
Chuck Berry is still performing, and drawing big crowds, at age 86!
I consider Eric Clapton a young guy, he's only 67! The list can go on all day.

Paul McCartney... 'Nuff said!

Saw a brilliant 'Later.... with Jools Holland' show recently. Sir Paul opened with 'Jet', they had Elvis Costello on next, then Neil Diamond, an interview with Alice Cooper, more Sir Paul and Elvis... (plus some Black Keys and Aloe Blacc, two up-and-comers)

Watch it if you can.

Damn, Mason, you must REALLY WANT THAT SCOOTER....trying to get me to laugh myself to death?

You're right about Burton. He's a guy I'd really like to meet before I sign over the title to the Cushman (LOL)!

And, Dianna Krall is a plain fox...easy on the ears AND eyes!

God help us when they are gone!


I agree that many of the older players are respected by the young players but I do think the young generation is for sure producing some fine musiscians. Just listen to the radio show on NPR called "From The Top" and you'll hear children playing classical music at very high level. Ever hear the University of North Texas O'Clock Lab Band? Even American Idol has put the spot light on some great talent. Maybe the general public is lossing interst in live musicians but the talent is there.

My 13 and 14 year old grand daughters have little, and mostly zero interest in music from the 50' 60's 70's 80's or even the 90's...with the possible exception of Michael Jackson...about the same low amount of interest I had for 1910, 20's and 30's music at age 14 in 1964. smile
