For the past several years I have taken my Zoom Q3 to my gigs. As a result, I have amassed a sizeable library of videos taken from many past performances. I edit the segments I want to keep on my main pc.
When I am after a particular venue, I put the appropriate vids on my YouTube channel, and give the URL to the AD.
She can instantly see if my performances fit with the clientel. I have never been turned down except for the fee($100 per hour).
That is an excellent idea, Bernie...a picture is worth a thousand words.
I think it's also important to be versatile and have a
varied repertoire of music, not just Big Band, old Rock&Roll, and Country, but some hip
Dance rhythms as well...it is also easy to adapt some of the older tunes to the newer Dance music styles, so you get a nice combination of the familiar and the new.
But yes, having a video is a splendid plan.
Between you and Gary, you have this well covered, indeed.
