Explanation point to indicate the joke... (missed it?)
I don't disrespect anyone doing the gigs, and have no problem with the people in there. In fact, most Christmases, I strap on my accordion, and go round local NH's with a guitarist or two, a bunch of kids, and play carols to the residents.
But I also feel that the residents deserve honesty from their performers. Were I doing it simply for the money, and playing music that I didn't really want to, I feel I would be shortchanging them. I'm a child of the 50's, and grew up with music of the sixties, but mostly the seventies. Sure, I've played in bigbands, and listened to many of the standards' greats, but it isn't the music of MY generation. When 70's and 80's music becomes the main thing for NH residents, perhaps I'm onboard, but most of my career has been playing music from an even younger generation.
So, I simply feel that, unless my heart is in it, they deserve better...
