It is what is in your heart when you deal with older people. They are easiest group of people to play for if you treat them with respect. I player my first Sr. job when I was 38 years old; it was like dealing with my aunts and uncles. I loved it. A man with an out-of-tune trumpet sat in for two songs and I had the crowd give him one big applause. I have a heart for the older people.

My first Sr. steady was in Morse nursing home. It was laughs, Disco and Glenn Miller. Started with 36 people – one year later we moved into the main auditorium with 150 people. Now here I am – one of them.

This year I fired three doctors because they treated me with no sensitivity. I feel when you reach a senior age you deserve respect and sensitivity, they have paid the price and many are hurting.

OK, I am on the soap box again.
It is not about age but what is in your heart.
