I work with a few older people doing some blue grass. I play acoustic guitar.There is a gentleman who is a fiddle player who is quite good.and has very nimble fingers considering he is 81, He picked up the fiddle at 60. So no, age means nothing....Show more

Age has nothing to do with it I am only 27 but play with musicians over 60 sometimes in jams and small gigs because we love playing together no matter what age you are....Show more
