I'm not allowed to sleep with a dead guy

Yesterday we had a rehearsal for Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortilèges and Maestro Lorin Maazel was there to conduct us. He asked where the soloists were, so I raised my hand, along with the other three soloists. Because I was on the opposite side of the room as the other three, it took him a second to find me in the crowd. When he did, however, he looked at me and said, "What's your cell phone number?"

I think one of the greatest conductors in the world just hit on me. I'm pretty sure I turned beet red.

When I told Ray about it later, I think he may have been a little jealous until I told him that Lorin Maazel is 76. Then he said with a smile, "You're not allowed to sleep with a dead guy." Now I ask you, at what age is a guy considered "dead?" Charlie Chaplin had kids when he was 73. Is that the cut-off?
