If it doesn't cost them something that is what it is worth. I am glad that you learned that lesson early in life. Unfortunately I was not smart enough to figure it out. I hope your are still playing your music! Thanks for the note. Bob Bedwell << Bob, I agree with your post. When I was in high school, I was blessed with the oppoutunity to join an established dance band quintet. Early on I learned from the leader that sometimes we do benefits, for publicity or whatever, and the rest of the time we charged full fare. He taught me that the first time you cut your rates, you lower the public image that we worked so hard to create. Since then, I witnessed what happened to other bands that did play an occasional cut rate gig. Frequently their playing quality would be lowered to the price they received. BAD NEWS!! Since then I have been a full fare or for love kinda guy. : ) Bryant >>
