I had a long conversation with Hayman maybe 10 years ago and he was
starting (!) to play in Pro-Am golf tournaments. He was in his
mid-70s at the time.
Maybe it's harmonica playing that keeps him in good health, maybe
it's standing up and waving your arms in front of an orchestra -
all that blood flow in the upper body. It can't be tearing your
hair out writing arrangements under deadline pressure.

Subject: [Harp-L] Richard Hayman
So yesterday I called Richard Hayman in Florida. Here is one of the
harmonica greats who has been a Symphony Pops conductor and arranger
for maybe 60 years. So he tells me he is off to conduct a Pops
concert with the Jacksonville Symphony in Florida and he is driving
the 8 hours from West Palm Beach. He is 88 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, to be that healthy and active at 88, wow, maybe there is
something in good health and blowing the harmonica.
Harmonically yours,
Robert Bonfiglio
