| How about a new classification for elderly players up to and including a new grade for bands called "geriatric"? |

| A piper frae up in the boonies,
Tho, 70, was master of tunies,
He came to the band,
Tae lend us a hand,
Sayin, “Love keepin' up with these loonies!” |

| Bill, Bill, Bill....aging is inexorable and not amenable to litigation! You worry about "physical" disabilities limiting your ability to march the 50 odd feet into the circle and out again.....What about the great, great majority of us who's "musical talent" disability has kept all of us out of the Grade 1 circle. My sympathies are predictably limited! On a more serious note, remaining physically and mentally active clearly holds off the ravages of time. Playing with a band and being around "young" people does both, especially if one has not succumbed to tobacco and alcohol over the years. I think the goal is to die young-at-heart....at a very old age.Kent Argubright |

| Simply brilliant Bill. As a nearly 82yo competitor I know where you're coming from. | |
