Maybe you and I together should take on a band act and get some bookings? We won't have to hand out lollipops, write thank you letters, shake any hands or make any more phone calls. The jobs will just keep flowing in........
If it doesn't work here, we can move to Donny's area and be a hit there 
The pay's better where he is, that's for sure!
Hey, Donnie is one of the rocks of this forum. The guy has been there and done that...His weekly dance party is a testament to,(I know this hurts, Donnie,) his MARKETING SKILLS!!!
While we're commenting on his area vs, ours, (SW Ohio, Northern Kentucky and SE Indiana) it's worth mentioning that different locations call for different tactics.
In a huge population area there are, its stands to reason, more opportunities to play than in a smaller area.
Literally, in Dayton there are a handful of acts that seem to get all the work...I hear constantly about "news guys" trying to break in, but they don't (I'm told)...
A) "Get It" in terms of working in a nursing home
B) Just aren't very good...
It also stands to reason there's more competition in a larger area like Donnie's as well.
