Nashville music (it ain't country no more) has always been big up here in Port Fierce (Fort Pierce) for the young-uns and oldsters alike.

The other big market, hip-hop/rap is handled mostly by DJs.

Then there are a lot of retired people who generally hire singles or duos (that's us) who want to hear roots pop/rock.

People are tired of the pandemic. Unfortunately, this is what happened during the "Spanish" Flu pandemic, which delayed the end of that pandemic, and it seems we might be making the same mistake.

Of course, we have vaccines (for those brave enough to err on the side of safety) and Moderna says they are already working on a mRNA vaccine for the new omicron variant.

The good thing about mRNA vaccines is that the technology has been around for years, so its safety is proven, and it is relatively easy to tweak. That allows the working part of the vaccine to be implemented quickly.

Of course, people have to get the jabs, which too many anti-science people are reluctant to do, and that means we will probably live with booster shots for the rest of our lives.

So I'm still being cautious about the gigs I accept. Fortunately, we've been targeting the +55-year-old market in Florida since 1990, and they are preferring outdoor events.

Good luck to all out there gigging. I hope you find safe work.
