Les Paul kept playing into his 90's and never lost his touch.
Little Richard is 79 and he's still got it! (I've seen him a couple of times in the past few years, as well.)
Age has nothing to do with musical creativity in my opinion.
It is something within the individual. Some manage to get it and keep it, some get it and lose it, and some never quite have it to begin with.
Exactly. Give me someone like Little Richard over some young cheeseball any day.
