[78-L] Oldest living to have recorded

[Kristjan Saag]

Ray Kilcoyne mentioned soprano Sally Sweetland a while ago, who recently 
celebrated her 105th birthday.
Seems she's not the oldest to have recorded. Harmonica player and singer 
Elder Roma Wilson recorded for Gotham records in 1948. He is nine months 
older than Sally Sweetland. There's a Polish pianist who's a few weeks 
older than Wilson, but as far as I know, never recorded.

Here's Wikipedia's list of centenarians "known for reasons other than 
their longevity".

There's another list of the 100 oldest living people in the world - all 
categories:

...where none of the "celebrities" are included. The "celebrity" list is 
topped by a Chinese linguist who is 110 years and 264 days old - the 
"all categories" list starts with 110 years and 272 days on # 100 and 
goes up to 116 years...
