Tony-

Great to see you on TM. As you mentioned, the scene is changing in New York, as it is everywhere. As someone who has seen the way things are going, how do you recommend those of us that don't have regular gigs make things happen for ourselves? For instance, is it dependent on taking lessons with the right people, putting on concerts and making your name known? Personally, I am leaving China in two weeks, and moving back to the CT, NY, area. I am hoping to teach and gig, but am worried about the amount of opportunities I may have. As someone who has been able to pay the rent freelancing, what do you recommend as far as skills, contacts, and all that stuff?

Thanks for any ideas you have.

Zeb
