Nope, didn't hit a nerve. Some folks need others to help them make it through the night, then they split the money with them. Arranger entertainers don't split the proceeds. We just count the money, plus tips, then head to the next job. Yeah, we play too, just a different band behind us. And, the guys and gals behind arranger players really keep good time, don't bitch about the pay, always show up on time, and never, never get drunk on the job.

OK, the drummer drinks a bit, and the bass player is a druggie!

Cheers,

Gary
