Unless you are Elton John, Vic Damone, Willy Nelson, P.Diddy Doodly Daddy or some other well known whose talent for a specific type of music or entertainment is well known, we have to be chameleons ready to change colors (programming) as needed.

It's a nice ego booster when folks tell you they came to see and hear you...but many times they are there for any number of other reasons and we are just the entertainment du jour. Some of those situations are b-o-r-i-n-g, true. But, the checks still clear.

Elks, VFWs, Moose, Eagles, Country Clubs, Yacht Clubs, private house parties, retirements, birthdays, anniversaries (a biggie here in Fla.) restaurants/lounges, assisted living and nursing facilities...these are the bread and butter jobs for me. The fun jobs are the casual lounge situations...but I don't turn down anything as long as it is a 50+ audience.
