i vote making him older! we could always use people closer to their 40s (and over 40s lbr). anyway, sam maybe goes a few times a year. he doesn't really need it now, and he keeps himself super busy. we could always swing it that sam has gone to him to see if any acts have brought in demos for him to listen to. sam looks for people who he might be interested in working with. seriously, connections will be easy. and you don't know how hard it is for me to not bring up a hook up if he swings that way.
