Originally sent yesterday . .  didn't make today's Digest so I assume it got
swallowed up by the great spaghetti monster. Apologies if it reappears in
cyberspace and hits the list twice tomorrow. (Slight copy changes made on
this edition for identification)

Wonderful. I'd jump at it if I lived there. $200? Why heck, Tom, that ought
to cover the gas for one car and expenses from the Bay Area. $50 per hour
for a band. Wow. Great music is really worth a lot to these people isn't it?

The wait staff will make more per man than the band. Time to change jobs?

Gee Whiz, I just RAISED Barbone Street's band price, for new bookings, by
$120 to cover the increased cost of travel due to gas prices.

Who ever takes the gig, please be sure to order the most expensive things on
the menu. Music, what a business.

Unless, of course you need the exposure . . . yeah right.

Cheers????? :-(
