A recent post about the JRM LOC recordings put the price for the full set of records in 
1947 at $120, and reported that would be about $1000 in 2006 dollars.

Using the same inflator, the $25 each man in my small combo used to get for playing 
high-school dances in 1952 would be a little over $200 in today's dollars.

How often do most of us see a gig paying that?
