Gary....thanks for your input also. I know what you mean about "upfront money" until "the checks start rolling in." I'm figuring on that already. Luckily my bank account is healthy enough so far for me to roll with the punches that I'm expecting with a move.

I too, have found solace in the nursing home circuit. Not a lot of pay, but if you do enough of them it all adds up. But the biggest payoff is the job satisfaction.

I've done nothing but play music for a living all my life, so I consider myself not only Lucky2Bhere but also lucky to have done that.

Yes, I could easily find enough work here to keep things going but the living is really tough. I've lost a lot of my sensitivity playing music to insensitive people. In the end it's all about interaction with people both musically and socially.
