1. Good work!

[Skittles]

2. very nice

but "stuns" and "draw-dropping" are becoming internet cliches

[bunnies]

3. But... Number #12 will shock you!!

[angstlessk]

4. Well he IS 81

some folks that age are in homes in wheelchairs

I find it 'stunning' but 'jaw dropping' is still out.

17. He destroyed that guitar shop!!!

Never eat this again!!!

5. Gosh! I didn't know they even had guitars 81 years ago.

How about this headline: "260 year old keyboard player walks into a music shop and stuns with his performance."


Or how about "101 year old singer walks into a music shop and stuns..."



You youngsters always act so amazed when you discover that yours is not the first generation with musical talent.

6. Now for my next number

my Smoke on the Water/Maggot Brain remix.

10. Song is "Besame mucho" - he may well be

one of those Latino viejos who is a virtuoso.

[BHDem53]

11. He's not that much older than

Beck, Clapton, Page, Richards or Townshend.

[HoosierDebbie]

13. Ditto

14. Very nice take on Besame Mucho....the gent is a professional musician.

Bob Wood can be seen effortlessly blasting out the traditional bolero song to a hushed British Audio Service shop

That's the header over at YouTube -- the shop is apparently in Nashville TN

Wood, a father of nine, was signed as a regular performer at Jamboree USA in Wheeling, West Virginia, in 1970, his daughter Melanie Wood Moody told Guitar Player.
He played at Jamboree USA for ten years after signing, and has created several albums over the years.
The guitar player was awarded Entertainer of the Year by Eastern States Country Music Inc in 1975 and 1976, and in 2007, he was inducted into the Southern Legends Country Music Hall of Fame.
And based on his Facebook page, he won't be setting down his axe any time soon - he's still performing regularly.
On October 4, he thanked his friends and family for coming out to a performance on the square in Gallatin.
He called it 'probably the best show' he had been a part of at the venue.

16. Jazz guitarist Mundell Lowe will be celebrating 95....

.........in a few weeks in San Diego with fellow guitarists Jaime Valle and Bob Boss. He of couse isn't burning like he once did, but his playing is still filled with nuance -- and his chord changes are beautiful.

18. Good for him!!!

He played "Bésame Mucho", written by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez.
