It brings out a different spin on the lyrics. In Delta blues I have plenty of guys to model for playing into their 80's. Here is one of my favorite models for how to enjoy the golden years, John Lee Hooker! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji0j_eWQ0uU Here is a guy who is still playing into his late 80's or early 90's, Honeyboy Edwards. He traveled with Robert Johnson in the 30's and wrote a great book called about his life as a traveling bluesman called The World Don't Owe Me Nuth'n. That pretty much says it all! Nice interview at the end.
