Well, we were just told,"The So&So Band will work for $10.00 less a man than your band. We like you better, but just not 10 bucks better. So... if you drop your price we'll keep you instead." So, let us think about this a second. Times up! No. I suggested we go to The So&So Band's gig and offer to play there for 20 bucks less. Oops, that's all their getting now. I heard of a think tank having a symposium on whether autonomous weapons a.k.a. robots, should be given the decision when to kill. Give it to them, they work for less, what could go wrong? Maybe we should send them to hear a 20 buck a man band and see what happens. LOL! Oh my, FORGIVE ME. I may have sounded terse. There are those who need it more. Someone's money or ego shortage kicked in and we take it in the teeth one more time. We all want to buy it cheaper and make more. Music biz is as capitalistic as Wal Mart. God bless and provide for those that need it most. We, our family and the bands I work with are all blessed. It's OK.
