What I was referring to Donny was your vocals. they shouldn't change whether you are performing for a relatively young crowd, or an older crowd - makes absolutely no difference, at least to me. Everyone gets the same package when it comes to my vocals - the best I can offer and nothing less. Today's crowd was not young, but they danced for the entire 2.5 hours I performed. They danced to everything I played, and about a third of the songs were high energy Latin songs.

Fran, all my jobs pay exactly the same hourly rate, no one gets cut rate and no one gets screwed over. Everyone is treated equally, which is probably why work more than anyone in my immediate area. And, I take the same rig into an assisted living facility as I take to a banquet, or Monday night's restaurant job. Why should anyone get more or less?

Now, I'm pretty happy with the quality of everything I have with this particular setup, especially the vocals, and so are my audiences. While my lung capacity continues to deteriorate, and I constantly have to place more effort on singing than anytime in the past, my audiences are telling me that my vocals sound as good or better than ever. I guess I must be doing something right.

All the best,

Gary
