I've always been pretty picky when it comes to where I play:

* No private jobs for businesses/organizations that use unethical practices. That includes some investment firms, law offices, a few manufacturers and others.

* No establishments where there are frequent fights. A "country" country club around here is # 1 on the list.

* No nursing homes for reasons I've already explained.

* No places where the clientel likes/wants country or Buffet music.

* No places where the help in mistreated.

* No public places that draw the undesirable element of the community. Some of these places are high dollar and the clientel has "cash-no class".

* No places with restaurants with sanitation problems.

* Other places, depending on the mood I'm in.

I don't make all of my living playing. If I did, I probably wouldn't be so picky.

I'm also opinionated as hell, and haven't really had to look for work for years. I limit jobs to 5 a week; several in the daytime; usually of an hour duration.


What about you?
