95% of all my paid gigs are from some kind of senior living community. I know several members who indicated they play weddings and other types of places. I'm curious where most of us are coming from?

Residents want to experience your show,not just passively listen to the music. When we invest time with them, it's crucial to make a connection and share the reason we love music and why we are so happy to share it. "My grandfather taught me how to play guitar. He also smoked cigarettes while he sang the songs. I don't smoke, but every time I smell cigarettes I think of him and the music he shared that made my brothers and I feel so good" Some little stories like this resonate with them. "My grandma danced and she couldn't dance. Grandpa sang and he couldn't sing. They stayed married 60 years." Open up to your senior audience and make them 'feel' what you feel. Let your stories lead into songs and bring them on an emotional journey with you. This makes a lasting impression that will get them asking for you back more often. Why are you so excited about sharing music with senior communities??

I'm curious what everyone uses when referencing a setlist during shows? I go completely from memory and don't rely on anything and I'm wondering if anyone else does this?
