Never.
Ethan Shelton is living proof you can teach an old dog new tricks.
The 108-year-old Berrien County man and founder of Shelton’s Farms in Niles decided at age 107 he was going to start playing the violin.
“I told my doctor that’s what I was going to do and his eyebrows went up, ‘What?’” said Shelton, as he sat in his home in Berrien Center.
Shelton practices almost every day on a used violin he bought about a year ago for $25.
“It is close to 100 years old — almost as old as I am,” he quipped.
