Dizzy Gillespie on playing trumpet:


"Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty
good and you win, some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins.
This goes on and on and then you die and the horn wins."

Have any of you seen the fairly recent insurance company tv commercial about 
"Leonard 'Rosie' Ross"?  He is described as 100 years old and still actively 
playing, driving!, and performing weekly at a local club.  There is a brief 
clip of him in the club standing straight up and playing (but the music is 
blocked with buy insurance voice over instead).

Man, I'd be grateful to stand up straight at 100, let alone play.  Does 
anybody know more about him?
