Uncle Dave, you touched on one of my pet pieves. The caterers and planners have entirely too much power. Thank God I haven't had to work for them for some time now. If I get a call from one of them, I tell them I'm busy. I will work those kind of events if I'm hired by the client giving the party. I consider planners just one more nail in the coffin of live music. Of course, this is just my opinion.
