And, any woman still playing at that age deserves a bigger award-female bass players are such a small bunch, anyway.

sub·son·ic (sb-snk) adj.
1. Of less than audible frequency.
2. Having a speed less than that of sound in a designated medium.
There is little point in playing bass at less than an audible frequency.

I also started taking lessons when I was 45 but there are also plenty of people who got started even later in life than I did. God bless 'em!
