I find I walk away from a few club offers every year after talking with the booker. Usually I've been referred to them so they're ready to give me the dates but I need to know more about their club before I agree.

If there's a history of dancing and a slightly older crowd...I'll usually take it on and it usually works out.

The clubs where there is no dancing, they want hard core modern country or hard rock...I pass on.

Could I...could anyone...work up a dj/mp3 thing for such gigs? Sure...it really wouldn't be that hard but I'm not interested in it.

As I've said before, next year I'm looking at making major changes to my overall business with regard to how I book myself, what type venues, the band, etc. The criteria for everything moving forward is personal fullfillment, profitability and quality.
