The senior circuit gigs are no longer there and by the time they may open up, I'm too old and too lazy to start gigging. Practice daily for about an hour. No more pressure on what to play and for whom to play setting up play lists, transporting equipment,setting up, breaking down. Makes me tired already just writing this. Enjoying my free time.

Gerry although a very sad situation....at least your keeping busy with your arranger kb and making changes which is always good. Setting up for gigs shouldn't be a burden it's just part of the profession we have chosen.
In this game you gotta LOVE it or it becomes a job..
and then it's time to quit. Remember playing music for people is a gift and you should always cherish & embrace it,
especially when you compare it to other worser occupations..
good luck with your music.
