[Dixielandjazz] Pay scale

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

You guys are absolutely correct, The Entertainers who play instruments 
often make very good money and get booked over and over again and 
actually can negotiate more money based upon satisfied clients.  while 
many great musicians that don't or won't entertain starve to death or 
work for far less money.


Cheers,

Tom " Let Me Entertain You " Wiggins

  We are all in the entertainment business, and if we don't look as 
though we are happy we have no chance of converting the audience. This 
holds true to all music not just OKOM.
