[Dixielandjazz] Just another gig...

[Bob Romans]

  Just another gig...

  A lady called the Los Angeles musicians union to inquire about the cost of 
booking a five-piece band with a singer for a wedding...

  The AFM rep says "Off the top of my head, roughly two thousand dollars"...

  She says "WHAT? FOR MUSIC ?"...

  The rep responds,  "Ma'am... I'll tell you what. Call the plumbers' union 
and ask for six plumbers to work from six to twelve o'clock on a Saturday 
night. Whatever they charge you, I'll work for half of that."

  She called back and said,   "I get your point Mr. Palmer."

Warm regards,
