Playing for recent (and not so recent) immigrants is difficult, if your repertoire is completely "anglo-centric". I would, over the years throw in Jewish, french, Italian etc. songs but find myself a bit stumped when it comes to playing for East Indian kids. Even at a Christmas show, the majority of tots are now Muslim or Hindu, and are brought by their folks for the pageantry. They always LOVE the magician, and are fascinated by the "Santa Claus" figure, but I suspect I'm less likely to take these holiday jobs anymore 'cause I simply don't feel I'm "right" for them.

Hmmmmmm, is this good enough for a separate thread discussion?
