[Dixielandjazz] Playing too long

[Thompson]

I think it is very sad for an accomplished musician to hang on long
after they should have quit playing.   It is better for them to "retire"
than not be able to play up to their standard.

Just my opinion.

I, for one, had tears as I realized that a great one was crumbling and
had 
lost it.
