Hi there John
On reading your posting I would ask yourself the following questions.

1. Do you really want to play a different type of music.

2. Can you give it your best to play it

3. Will it satisfy you?

4. Do you need the money or is it perhaps the buzz of playing to a live audience?

5. Is it becoming a pain rather than a joy to play this different style of music?

If the answers to the above are more NOs than Yes, then you have your answer.

We each play and enjoy the type of music that we prefer, because of this we can add that extra feeling to it that comes across in the music.

You know John - you already know this yourself!!! You are at an age when life is precious and should be about enjoying yourself and smelling the roses not worrying about a change of direction unless it is absolutely necessary - Is it? Joan
