Finding the right venue for what you do is right on the money.

I once did a gig that consisted of nothing but blue collar workers at the nuclear plant in NH. They had no clue what I was doing there. (Neither did I)

I also did a performance for the mentally handicapped. Same result. I'm sure neither group was impressed with me.

As I'm fond of saying, "Everything is relative. To a germ, good health is a type of disease".
