What does a 60-something retirement home road performer store on floppy disks, exactly
Comment on anyone else doing this?

Work at a retirement place. We get performers through on occasion.
Saw a dude with catalogue of floppies. Dude claimed he got burnt by a usb on occasion so he went back to floppies. I was enraptured.
He reeked of cigarettes and was still a road performer in his 60s

His queued mixes i believe.
He would be doing vocals/guitar and play the song without whatever he was going to do via his board
Could be wrong but only conclusion could draw from his bizarre setup

There seems to be still plenty of refurbs and “new old stock” on the market.

In Japan, convenience stores sold packs of blank floppy diskettes up until around 2015.
Also remember seeing VHS, Hi-8, audio cassette, DAT, mini-DV, MiniDisc… You can still buy a short spindle of CD-Rs and individual DVD+Rs.
