Eighty-eight

Still going through those clippings, and here's one I missed commenting on from September 22, 2009.

Art Ferrante, a pop pianist who teamed with Lou Teichner as part of a long-lasting, extremely popular piano duo, passed away at 88.

There are 88 keys on a piano. Art, thus got one year of life for every key. His partner passed away in 2008, not quite making it to 88, but still sailing past 80.

It's a good thing guitar players outlive the number of strings. The turnover would be terrific.
