I have been playing rock since the early 60s and I am having more fun now than ever...playing for the AARP crowd....and making way more $$$. I do a solo act and bill the show as a Rock & Roll Dance Party 50s/60s/70s. Nobody in my area is really doing anything like what I do. The AARP folks love to hear the tunes they grew up with and the still love to dance and they are very generous to my tip jar. Plus the venues I play, mainly upscale country clubs and private parties also pay way more than the lounges and local bars. And it is so much fun playing for folks who really like the music and always let me know it. I'm smilin' just thinking about it.

Not only that but you have no band drama or band members mistakes to deal with! Bluesman what do you do for accompaniment? I have done a 1 man Classic Rock band thing like this a few times when my whole band could not accept the gig, using backing tracks, and it has always been well received.
