So I'm going through each of your replies carefully because I genuinely need to get back to playing. You guys already stimulated me with ideas and revelations of what I'm up against. Any other comments appreciated.

But it comes down to this. I'm aware that there are various ways to reach "employers." I should have said......

If you only have time to make one form of contact with an AD, how should it be? demo tape, flyer in the mail, flyer by FAX, a phone call, a "Gary-type" package, set up a personal meeting, etc? I'm trying to figure how to reach the most people in the way that is the most effective.

I'm also starting to think it's just plain a lost cause to start again at this age. Maybe I WILL become a florist and enjoy peace amongst the flowers instead!
