anyway, i play a lot of jazz and new music as well as a few stints on cruise ships playing top 40 pop stuff.

thanks!
Hi and welcome. The first thing I can tell is to put your questions forth in the proper Forum and not here in the general intro area. This way, it can be discussed better and help will be easier to find.
