The Grand Dame of traditional Irish music, at 77 years, gives it laldy round the dance floor yet again. 'Keep it simple' is the by-word with straight piano accompaniment and that, too, allows the fiddle to shine.
Good strong playing and yet lightness of touch should certainly encourage 'like-aged' people to persevere with what they do best - though maybe Josephine always did it a bit better that most all of the time.
