So maybe it's your musicianship they're really after, Mr. Musician who Mostly plays Jewish music. I say MAKE THEM PAY. Big time.
It's high time musicians started making demands on people who would have them volunteer their services for free. You are probably every bit as popular as some well-spoken preachers/gurus/head honchos.
Tell them exactly how much it will cost them for the use of your services. Then go in and play what you want to play. Either they'll never bother you again, or they'll realize what an excellent draw you are and how essential you will be for maintaining or improving their membership.
PS: Skip the Skynnard. Santana's more spiritual (IMO, of course). (And yes, I know he was/is(?) a follower of that Chimnoy guy.)
They're just diddling me. It's a small congregation, mostly the Pastor's family. I prefer to extricate myself from all of this and not get my soul soiled again.
