[Dixielandjazz] What Now?

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

Steve:
I don't know if you remember about a year ago one of the upscale Sr. Citizen 
communities were requiring bands to have large insurance policies.  I was 
quite surprised because their contract was clearly for food and other 
services.  I can understand that they might want a food or medical service 
to be insured for a lot of money but they were applying the same to everyone 
that came in the door.

I talked to another band that plays OKOM and it didn't take long for word to 
travel and pretty soon no one would play there.  They quickly changed back.

For some reason this seems turned around.  I always send them MY contract. 
If I sign theirs then I am and employee or subcontractor of theirs.

The only reason why I could understand such a contract is that younger bands 
in order to make a name for themselves do some pretty bizarre things that 
sometimes result in personal injury, property damage and even riots.  Then 
there are wardrobe malfunctions by artists.  The list goes on and on.
