Bb King: 'Music Keeps Me Young'

Blues legend Bb King plans to continue performing past his 80th birthday next month (SEP05), because music keeps him young.

Until recently the guitarist regular performed 250 dates a year and he has already notched up over 80 this year alone - and he has no plans to slow down because he believes a hectic schedule is good for him.

He says, "I do it because I still get a kick out of it. I still love performing. It keeps me young."
