long-lived musicians
Further to the posts on long-lived bands, the chief contender for the title of the Longest Operatic Career is Danshi Toyotake of Hyogo, Japan, sang Musume Gidayu (a traditional Japanese narrative) for 91 years from the age of seven, from 1898 to 1989.
According to the Guinness World of Records, Stanley Hayes has been the organist at St David's Church, Thelbridge, Devon, since 1926, when he was 13. He's still going strong apparently.

You know that the New English Bible attracted criticism over it's rendering of the Christian's duty to avoid certain situations: 'avoid loose livers'. True! Didn't mention long livers, but surely that's equally unusual?
