Very interesting topic as I am also looking at getting into nursing homes etc.

I am planning on playing acoustic guitar and running a drum maching when I go solo to at least add a beat. I also have a buddy that I can call to play lead guitar and then I would have the option of playing bass to round out the sound.

My question is how do you approach pricing if you are unfamiliar with "the going rate"? I live in a rural county with a small population but there a few guys doing this type of thing already but I have no idea what they charge.

Thanks for any help you can give.
