Bill, Gary and Steve,

Your comments are very refreshing and encouraging. I will do my best to get my courage and persona and try a few of these venues. I know my setlist is perfect for these places - yes, I do have lighter rock, pop and standards in there.

This year I've enjoying my summer so much that I have given little thought to playing out because of small trips sprinkled here and there. As things settle down in the fall i shoulod have more time to concentrate on playing. Thanks for all you great insights.
