John,wishing you every success on this venture. House gigs can be a really good gig. Steady work and steady clientel. One thing I used was to try to get to learn about the "steady" customers. Most people like to be recognized by stage performers so I would learn their names, birthdays, etc., and judiciously use it in my program. I would also try to find out about the new customers, where they were from, etc.Keep us posted on how you are doing. DennisD
