Longevity Advice for Women
IN recent columns, I have written about longevity literacy and the need for long-term-care planning (see “Living in Retirement,” Dec. 2025 and Feb. 2026). To see how women fit into this picture, I interviewed Maddy Dychtwald, cofounder of AgeWave, a research and consulting firm focused on aging, and author of Ageless Aging: A Woman’s Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan and Lifespan. Dychtwald interviewed dozens of researchers, scientists and physicians for her book, and these are some of her key takeaways.

Muse Records via Time Traveler Recordings
As the jazz buyer for Tower Records's Lincoln Center (66th St.) location in the early 1990s, I held a unique vantage point on New York City, its music and culture. My position guaranteed daily encounters with an eclectic variety of unforgettable characters. Between regular visits by the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (grouchy), Kathleen Turner (pushy), and Michael J. Fox (perpetually running from the store's female staff), I saw a lot. I also learned a lot about jazz records: from John Newcott of PolyGram/Universal; from A&R executive and Grammy-winning producer Brian Michel Bacchus; from fellow Tower employee Kevin Elliot—and from Joe Fields, the founder of Muse Records, and his son Barney. Joe had worked with Bob Weinstock of Prestige Records before he founded his own crucial imprint. Joe and Barney would go on to found HighNote records and its sublabel Savant; today Barney runs the two labels, which are still issuing jazz.

Steve played it
Legendary Stax guitarist/producer Steve Cropper hated when deejays talked over song intros. He decided to do something about it for the countless hit singles cut at the label's Memphis studio in the 1960s. As a result of his efforts, Cropper—who passed away on December 3, 2025, at age 84—became known as “The Intro Guy,” a sobriquet he was proud to honor.

Collecting used records. And cleaning them
I own a lot of records. Way too many if we're being honest. It's hard for me to come up with an accurate count, and I'm not even remotely organized enough to have a formal inventory, but if I had to make a guesstimate based on linear feet I figure I must have around 10,000. About 10 years ago, I started to recognize that I owned far more records than I could ever hope to listen to, even once, in my remaining time on the planet, and since that realization my record purchasing rate has slowed to a trickle. These days, my worst weakness kicks in when I'm visiting my friend of over 45 years, Alan B out in L.A. Our idea of great social interaction is to head out and visit some of the record stores near his home in Pasadena, such as Amoeba and Freakbeat Records. Ten years ago on these trips, I would pick up enough records over a weekend to fill three big boxes that I would then ship back home to New York, using the US Postal Service's bargain Media Mail service. Times have changed, and on my most recent visit I came home with just a dozen or so new acquisitions, few enough to easily slip into my suitcase.
