Eric,
I am glad you are finding places to play, and enjoy playing your clarinet. The "scene" here is not depressing, it has changed, just as it has all my life. That is the nature of music and the music business. I spent 40 years making a very good living playing music, and working with some of the greatest musicians in the world. I reached a point where I had played enough gigs and decided to retire. I do object to being put into one of your 2 groups for "older" musicians.
Part of the problem here is guys who love it so much that they are willing to play for next to no money just to play. I walked away making $1,000 a night for myself as a musician. Clubs now charge the musicians to play and let them sell tickets to try to make money or make it in tips. The world has changed, and I see a race to the bottom for musicians trying to make a living playing music. I have no interest in trying to find some opportunity to play a gig for bad money or even good money. I am just making an observation of what I see.
