Elderly musicians, loving what they do, simply, getting on that stage, and perform the music for the love of it, translated…
At the time, I'd, lived in the U.S., there was a favorite café of mine, it's got that country, rustic feel to it in the interior, on every Friday, Saturday evenings, there would be, the live, performances, with the tip jars up front, for the customers to place the tips in.
The violin and electric keyboard played the music, the guitarist, also, sung very high, without holding a thing, back, the duets, and the four-person band worked well together, sometimes, they'd performed the softer love songs, the ballads, sometimes, the beats to the songs are, strong. With the music the atmosphere came to life, the audiences were enjoying the music very much, the band members also, would, interact with the members of the audience from time to time, we were, having, a blast.

Close to the end of the show, the lead still kept his, enthusiasm, getting closer to the audience, and, looked very proud, as he'd, begun, showing off, yet another musical instrument he could play, he'd, switched the guitar in his hand out, and pick up his, trumpet, then, puffed up his cheeks, and started, playing the songs, then, he'd, picked up the drums, and beat out the rhythmic, beats, although this was not the main instrument, but it'd still, gotten the crowds, going. She saw everybody smiling and getting into the music, she'd, started singing and dancing, with every one of us in the audience, applauding her hard.
And, the performer was not a trained singer, but four silvery haired elderly women, due to their shared love of music, they'd, formed a band, and, the attractive thing about them is that thy played impromptu, whatever came to their minds, and, they're all, very actively enjoying in their, performances, with that, unique attractiveness to the show. Thinking on it now, I'd still, miss it very much, don't know if there's a stage here, to allow the elderly performers, to shine in the, spotlights.
Yeah, that's not likely, because, in this country, the performers are mostly, younger, and, that's just how the culture works, I means, surely, those, oldies are loved, and, there were the performances that came every single year, for those, old folk music, but, mostly, it's the younger singers that take the stages here. But, this group of elderly women inside that café, found a stage for themselves, to perform on, sharing their love of their music, and passing around the joys they had in performance, infecting their audience.
