[Dixielandjazz] slightly OT: Pay by the Note!

[david richoux]

Hi all,

there was a story on the BBC World News tonight about the recent  
controversy in the Bonn Beethoven Orchestra - the string players want  
more money for performance and rehearsals because the play more notes  
than the wind players! (This is not exactly new news - I guess they  
were sitting on the story for a slow news day...)
