One of the day off highlights of SSMT 2015 was playing for a cabaret at a nearby retirement village. Several members of the company compiled a small concert of broadway songs to perform for the evening event. I've been through the retirement home and nursing home circuit before because I used to be the adorable little boy who could play the piano that the senior citizens would just eat up. Because of my experience playing for these places, I noticed a few things that surprised me. Normally, a community event happens in the afternoon, but this happened at 7 PM; I thought that's when retirement villages go to bed. Also, there is normally about five people: the awake one, the asleep one, the late one, the one that leaves earlier, and the noisy one. However, none of these were there. It was not only an attentive crowd, but a large one. It taught me something. Even people at a retirement village have a lot of livin to do.
