Hi John,

I heard your demo's and there's nothing wrong with them at all but in my experience it's about gettin in there and showing them what you can do in a live situation! That's easier said than done I know but I'm not convinced the demo's actually cut the deal.
I'm lucky enough to live in a holiday resort (Devon UK) there are lots of hotels in the area that have a middle aged and above clientèle but I have never secured a gig from a demo even though that is the first thing they ask for! Once in, hopefully word of mouth keeps it going
If you are giving out demo's, I would agree with Ian, that one with an audience response might help.
Paranoid at just 60 ??? Nah never!! Many a good tune played on an old fiddle ;o)

Good luck buddy!

Dave.
