[/quote}I've been in performance playing Jazz Piano in my little jazz trio and someone has requested Mustang Sally.

I played it for them.

They put some munny in the bowl.

In the Baton Rouge area I often get request to play some Swamp Pop, not my fovorite to say the least but because the customer is always right I have about 4-5 tunes in my rep that get me by on an occassion like this, and yes it feeds the tip jar. Now will I play a regular 100% Swamp Pop, I don't think so. Not because I think I am above it, but because that it is just not what I do, therefore I would not feel that I am giving my audience the best possible product they are paying for.

In fact I could have had a weekly gig 7 miles from my home playing a 2 hour Swamp Pop dance for 250.00. My thought was the best thing to do was recommend another musician who loves and kills Swamp Pop, I did he was hired results, everyone was happy including me.
