No big deal, Donny...don't get overexcited...calm down...was it that difficult for you to tell my post was not meant to aggravate but merely to inquire?

I sure hope someone can give you some useful advice on how to get more gigs, of any kind. DonM and Gary are experts, and no doubt they can help you.

I'm happy to play for free for those in the local nursing homes, and it is so nice, to not only be appreciated, but also it gives me a wonderful feeling to see the smiles of recognition on their faces when a particular song brings back nice memories.

I wish I had more time lately, to devote to personal gigging, but I'm very busy with getting my old house ready for sale, so it's Yamaha work only for now.

PS...great entertainers and/or players generally don't need to "hustle"...they are usually in demand.
