Hmm.  Well, I guess that's one way of looking at it.  Those pesky oldsters
will soon be history.  I guess you probably don't mean it that way -- I
believe you when you say you don't mean to be flip -- but for me anybody who
shows up to hear me play deserves my gratitude.  I don't care why they come,
I just want them to be glad they did.
