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".
Wonderful -- so true!! I can't tell you how many times I've had a similar conversation with folks wanting to hire my band! :-)
Cheers... Dallas
