Depends a lot on the kind of music you play Kent. Want to join a group or play solo? Will you want to play in a particular part of the US or tour? If your union has reciprocal agreement with AFM (AMercian Federation of Musicians) then they would be of some help, but how much depends a lot on how active the local chapter is.
