How do you go about getting the private parties (50th wedding annaversary, retirement parties, etc) and corporate affairs? The senior home jobs are pleantful and have gotten to be more than I can handle, or want to handle. Senior dances are coming in, but there's not enough of them.

I've done a few private affairs and they are certainly more rewarding, but an attorney who's about to have a party recognizing his retirement from the law firm isn't likely to hear me entertaining in a nursing home. In the old days when I was playing at lounges, I was asked quite often if I would play for a private party, but moving the B3, Rhodes, Clavinet, and Shure Vocalmaster for a single night was out of the question. With the setups we have now, that's all changes.

Any ideas?
