Know your crowd! We did a gig for an oil company's Christmas party. 50 plus was the age at 5/6 tables. The last table was 30 somethings. It was the table in the back corner and we just got this vibe from their body language. Well, 5 of 6 tables enjoyed our program.

Musician's rule... You can always sell yourself enough to play a gig once. If they ask for you again, they liked you!!

We do the gig we do because it works. If you like it, great. If not, as long as you get paid, you still did a good job. Make the person paying you like it and do what you love!
