Tom, 1) Ronnie "the blonde bomber" Dawson - haven't heard the new one, More Bad Habits. 2) D.L. Menard "the Cajun Hank Williams" - making rocking chairs when not on the road. 3) Sleepy La Beef - has been known to play non-stop for over 90 minutes, ask Tom Lewis. 4) The Hackberry Ramblers - I believe the oldest band in the country. 5) Wanda Jackson - saw her on tour w/Rosie, she was excellent. Hope this helps. Kate. I've got to write a short article about what the lives of famous or historical people looked like at later key ages, particularly after 50 (examples include: Frank Lloyd Wright, Sidney Greenstreet - even Philip Glass, who apparently was a plumber until he hit 40). Musical suggestions would be appreciated (interesting non-musical examples too, for that matter). Twang example: Don Walser Thanks!

Blah blah the lives of famous or historical people looked like at later key ages, particularly after 50 (examples include: Frank Lloyd Wright, Sidney Greenstreet - even Philip Glass, who apparently was a plumber until he hit 40). Musical suggestions would be appreciated (interesting non-musical examples too, for that matter). Twang example: Don Walser Clarification needed. Are you talking about folks who hit it big in a later key age (such as Don Walser) or someone who hit it big early, but have continued to make vital contributions to their area of expertise (such as Bill Monroe)?

Clarification needed. Are you talking about folks who hit it big in a later key age (such as Don Walser) or someone who hit it big early, but have continued to make vital contributions to their area of expertise (such as Bill Monroe)? I think they're most interested in folks whose careers either took off or changed radically later in life (e.g. Walser). how about one of Steve Earle's favorite topics of conversation, Mance Lipscomb...wasn't he 60 before he started playing to audiences? meshel

I think they're most interested in folks whose careers either took off or changed radically later in life (e.g. Walser). Del McCoury. Del was a part-time, regional act until he retired from the logging bidness, moved to Nashville and went at music full-time. It's pretty astonishing to realize that was less than 10 years ago.
