I guess after decades of playing it really no longer makes much difference to me what anyone else thinks about what I play or how i play it except for the audience I perform for now. I no longer play clubs or dances and my only clients these days are folks in retirement homes or assisted living centers. It matters a lot to me what these folks think as I perform for them. They are always gracious and appreciative and I work probably harder to please them than I did when playing all the best spots in our area. I could write a book about all the really neat things I have experienced since taking on these clients. Anyway, that is what "floats my boat" these days.
