I've always been of the opinion that music is supposed to be mutually enjoyed by musicians playing together.

Also, I don't have much respect for the ability of most club managers and booking agents to differentiate between good and bad players/musicians.

Who's opinion maters most to you? Is it the public? The management of venues? With me, it's the opinion of peers....musicians I respect.

What about you? Please remember, there are no right answers. It's all about what "floats your boat". I suspect that entertainers will value the opinions of the public much more than other musicians. The reverse is probably true of most musicians.

We all must get satisfaction/approval somewhere. Where do you get yours?
