My dad put himself through college in the late 1930s playing Dixieland. Clarinet and saxophone. When he retired in his 70s my sister talked him into picking it up again and he played in bands into his 90s. When he was in his 80s he played a one hour concert at the Nixon library, just himself and a piano accompanist.
Wow,that is so cool! What a cool Dad! Yay for him keeping it up into his 90s. That is really something. And what an honor to play at the Nixon Library. I love stories like this.
Wish I could have been in the audience! (And I promise I would not have played spoons. Gregg Allman was probably the only professional musician who would have put up with my spoon playing.)
