<<I think this kind of work has its own reward, more valuable than money.>>

Right you are Mac. Pauline and I are in a little band that plays at a different retirement home/treatment facility every week. As a duet, we also play at 3 facilities once a month and also on special occasions such as Veteran's Day. We see what differences it makes to the Alzheimers patients. Many people on this forum have helped us to create and improve our backups which has, in turn, also helped these patients. There are lot's of ways to help bring music to those in need. Be creative and come up with you own ideas. The maximum time of our programs is 45 minutes. I admit that it can get boring sometimes, but then it's not about me. Give it a try. You might find that the reward is greater than you ever thought it could be.
