My Standard answer to request to play for free.

I'm with Bill Haesler, Louis Lince, and the other guys who said No   good on ya mates:))

Ms. Palmer raised 1.2 Million dollars to produce her CD,   she could certainly afford to pay for those musicians.

Success has obviously gone to her head and she has a greater sense of her stardom than she deserves, wonder how many bands she  played with for Free to get there.   Some people know what they are worth monetarily and  should not complain about it when they are paid especially those who play for Free.   

Sitting in is fine, but playing a gig  for free is shameful and an insult to all professional musicians trying to earn a living.
