"A guy calls the musicians' guild to get a quote on a 6 piece band for a wedding. The rep says 'Off the top of my head, about $2000.' He says 'WHAT? FOR MUSIC?' The rep responds 'I'll tell you what. Call the plumbers' union & ask for six plumbers to work from 6 to midnight on a Saturday night. Whatever they charge you, we'll work for half.'"
It's so true. Musicians seem to be constantly short-changed...pun intended. And yet, I wouldn't have another profession for all the money that's found in other professions.
