What's the difference between "Old" Tom Jones and "Old" guys playing  
Dixieland? See the below snip from the NY Times today. He still makes  
the music sexy, how about us? <grin>

A One-Man Variety Show Who Can Still Get the Fans Screaming

Silver-haired and 68, Tom Jones was still the target of flying  
undergarments when he performed at Terminal 5 on Tuesday night. He  
drew happy screams when he ran a hand along his thigh, tossed away his  
jacket or widened his eyes as he delivered a risqué lyric. . . . )snip  
to) . . . He brought a full band — with a horn section and shimmying  
backup singers — that hopscotched through eras and styles: big-band  
swing, 1960s soul, disco, waltzes. His repertory is one Welshman’s  
grab bag of American music, connected by his attentiveness to the  
ladies and the way he sings. . . .
