[Dixielandjazz] Pay Scales

[Mike]

I play with a couple bands that have the digital and I am in the 
process of making a digital as well as a hard copy one for my 
own group. Thank you for your suggestions; still not sure if I 
will be joining the union. I am still weighing the pros and cons 
  and probably won't make a solid decision on that until I 
graduate college. I have received plenty of good advice from 
many DJML members like yourself and Steve Barbone and Tom Wiggins.
