[Dixielandjazz] When to hang it up?

[Stephen G Barbone]

Nancie Beaven sent me this clip of Alphonse Picou at 81 or so playing  
High Society.
Some may no doubt say he should have hung it up, but as for me, I  
would have given my eye teeth to have seen him do it. And applauded  
him as as the professional he was. He paid his dues and so I figure if  
he wanted to play, who am I to say he shouldn't have?
