My hearing is shot to Hell, but I have to agree with Don. The older audiences are not only appreciative of the sounds, but additionally, they're not just folks in a nursing home or retirement community. The resort area Tiki Bars are filled to capacity with older folks, individuals ranging 65 to 90 years of age. They're the ones with the money, they love to party, and a lot of them have the attitude "I worked for it, I'm gonna spend it! Let the kids fend for themselves." A good entertainer with a Tyros-2, G-1000, PSR-3000, G-70, etc..., someone who can read an audience and play what they want to hear, can have all the work they wish. There are a lot of incredible musicians out there, guys who can play circles around the best of us on the forum, but most are not entertainers. That's why DNJ, DonM, and many of us on this forum perform 300 to 500 times a year. That's why it's called Show Biz!

Cheers,
