Besides, the bar and restaurant pay is about $150 for 4 hours of drunks and cigarette smoke. I would much rather play at a retirement center, assisted living center or nursing home for an hour, pick up $100 to $150, perform in the middle of the day, middle of the week and do a couple of these a day. I'm not getting older--just a hell of a lot smarter! 
Gary. You are lucky to be able to choose. I wonder what you would do if you had no alternative circuit to perform (and make a living from that). The kind of market you are in (retirement centers, assisted living centers or nursing home) is extremely limited if not inexistant in Portugal, for instance. -- José.
