Gary pretty much hit it. Thats the scene here too. Unless your a strong duo or trio as I posted. The only differance is I just don't think they "get" keyboards here, they're so guitar oriented. Lots of so so ones too.
Captain we've said this before, you have a golden niche where you can do what you want and work steady. Good for you. Its when you hit a new area and have to sell yourself all over again that it gets dicey. Especially if your an unknown and older musician.
Most places here book the same players year after year and you have to break in doing fill ins.
Had a nice job lined up for the Season on Fridays at one of the biggest restaurants here because the guy they used every year wasn't coming back. Last minute he decides to come back so I'm out. They went with what they knew.
I posted the links just to show what goes on here besides singles.
