When I first moved here, I spent the first six months ,looking , sending out video demos with web page links for more demos. I got two jobs one was assisted living that I played twice and they stop hire outside entertainers and used freebies only.( budget cuts. The other was a American legion which I had to cancel due to upcoming surgeries. The assisted living paid 50.00 for 1 hr. American legion paid 75.00 for 3 hours. So I decided to not pursue the music up here. To me it's not worth the hassle . I'm ok playing a 40 minute set once a year here in my retirement community when needed. I've been following Gary ( travelin easy) diamond on this forum , I highly respected his knowledge and attitude toward facing not playing anymore. He has made my transition to my next stage ok. Thanks Gary. Hope you're doing better.
