Boo, I hear ya. And I agree. In my location we have everything from nursing homes, assisted living, independent living facilities who set their own budgets
for entertainment. Some use guys or gals that play for nothing to $50....and get pretty much what they pay for. Others have stepped up to $100 per hr, but
right now that appears to be the top of the tier. Other venues like homeowner associations, fraternal and country clubs are a different animal and pay better....
as long as I don't play Jazz Tunes with 57 chords and augmented minor thirteenths. LOL Just yanking your chain Boo.
