That still makes me 20 years younger than most of them. Just a hair too much for me, I fear. I definitely feel playing for the elderly is a calling. Just as you shouldn't play to youngsters you have nothing in common with (who may be only 30 years or so younger than you) and music of theirs you don't really relate to, playing to your elders if you don't feel a bond is not in their or your best interest. Money doesn't cure everything, at least for me!
