and he's pushing 70. Then again, he's playing Chopin. And, like BB King and most of the old bluesmen, he stays put for his performance.

Guys like that can perform as long as they want, regardless of genre. Look at the Allmans; Gregg can remained moored behind the keyboard as long as he's breathing as far as I'm concerned. As for Mick vamping and camping at 70-plus, I'll pass.
