Question to musicians from musicians, as opposed to, say journalists, should ideally deal a little more w/ technical stuff than what the general public is supposed to bear.
Practice regime could be one such thing:
how did he practice (he has been playing, what is it 70 years?),
how has this changed/evolved over the years,
stratagems in that department that he wishes he´d avoided etc.
But an interesting thing is that musicians find it un-cool to speak about practice ("thou shalt be good without practicing" -- nobody is (maybe Django), and great musicians practice like mad, but that´s not the point in Coolsville), so you probably won´t get him to say anything about it. Could be worthwhile trying, though.
Cheers,
Martin
