This sums it up pretty well for the church I am at along with the answer for me on when is it time to retire. Well said!

TobyMac is 47. Lincoln Brewster is over 40. The Newsboys have been around forever and today have a single out that everyone is falling over themselves to cover in a P&W setting. I went to a Jake Hamilton concert last year and watched his lead guitarist play as he looked like he was literally just recruited out of 1970's Haight-Asbury. The so-called younger generation is not obsessed with our (older) age. Only my generation and older is. The younger generation likes good music, and authentic worship. I know some 50-60 year olds who are the best at providing that.
I'll be playing, singing until I can't hold a guitar any more or God calls me home. Whichever comes first.
