For my jobs, the cost of the music is a relatively small part of the total expense.

Some of the big horse farms spend over $100,000 on events during the sales. The State and Local government functions are slowing down, but dropping my fee would not matter as far as either having the events or not.

I always have a few "snakes" who always offer to do my jobs for less, but that really hasn't mattered much.

As things get worse in the economy before they get better, we'll have to wait and see.
