I don't understand the need to compete for gigs that you don't like or don't understand. Personally, I don't ever want to hear a 70 year old lady sing a Christina Agulera song, OK? I don't want to hear a country fiddler try to learn a violin concerto. Some people are able to cross genre lines successfully. I feel for example that I can do both country and jazz pretty well; but I don't do electronica; and I don't do metal. I suppose I could learn a few metal songs, but do I really want to get a metal gig? No, I don't. I see no need to compete for that gig
