Good on you. Pukuhipi and I did bit of a gig for a group for senior cits a little while back. We had pipes, accordion, a bit of whistle, bit of guitar, we had a ball and they loved it. We were a little rough round the edges, said hell and bloody a few times, but we were live, topical, and sung stuff some of them hadn't heard for years. Other acts that afternoon performed at them, we struck it right and performed for them. We both agreed it was one of the most gratifying performances we had ever done. They were the most appreciative audience I have ever seen.
Ain't oldies magic.
