Is there a way to limit the information returned in searches / queries? I want piano players, NOT people that list EVERY instrument in their profile because they once played Chop-Sticks on their Aunt's piano 50 years ago when they were 8 years old....

In other words, why can't we add : like "piano" -Christian contemporary; -guitar; -bass; -Djembe.... etc.

The queries need to be more robust for this to be useful.

Thank you.

And I bet you've stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, too!


Seriously, if you're looking for musicians near your area, do a town and/or state search for profiles that have been updated within 2 weeks - any longer than that, the people may not be coming here or checking for messages. This will cut down on a lot of your searching.

Better to contact EVEYONE active in your geographic area.
Networking brother. People know people, ya know ?

This strategy has been effective for us twice in the last seven years.
Otherwise I'd not bother the recommendation.
