call first?... or "direct mail" email first?
Howdy, Team. I am getting so close now to reaching out to activity directors, that i'm getting a bit nervous. With Aaron Turner's as a model, I'm putting together a one page web splash with bio, contact info, and performance demos. my question: should I make phone contact first (including leaving a voicemail), or send an intro email w/ web link first, and follow that up with a phone call... perhaps it depends—but I'll take any perspective ya might offer.... thanks any case. - Jim

Jim, the problem that I found with direct email was finding a good email address to begin with. So I called spoke to the activity Director and tried to get their email address. I tried to book immediately and then directed them to my website.
Blessed
I did a show yesterday at the nursing home that I did my very first show back in July. Since then I’ve done 15 shows and I’ve just been thinking about how blessed we are to be able to do something that we enjoy so much and even get paid for it. I enjoy the contributions in this performer circle. Thank you all

Who’s joining me on the livestream THIS Tuesday? This will be open to all members to converse and connect. I’m excited to have a guest on this call who recently started playing music for senior communities. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Planning to join.
Ok - Did my first senior gig!
I have been on here for months doing nothing-in-particular but I got to do my first (volunteer) show this week and immediately got booked for two more (volunteer) slots in October and November. This is nice for me as it helps me improve my craft, build my confidence and expand my set list- after that I can go to other senior communities. Anyway I just wanted to post a bit of progress and give a big thanks to @Chris Ekblom and everyone else here for all the encouragement and support!
