Let me point out something that some will think but might not post. And that is...

I understand having the give-something-back outlook. I have had the same. But perhaps you could find another place other than nursing homes or senior centers. Why? Because if you play for free, assuming you are good, this hurts gigging musicians. It's hard to compete with free. Nursing homes and senior centers are not exactly going broke. They can afford to pay something.

Of course, it's your business, you can and should do what you want. But consider it.
