Money I use to live on is not the issue here. $50.00 an hour to play clubs is way below the fee I charge for nearly everything else. I get $150.00 per hour to write copy, $1800.00 a day for industrial photography and up to $250.00 an hour for research implementation and film or print design/production.

Thing is, playing takes as much or more ability than my other activities. It's just a shame that dumbass club owners and
snake" musician wanabees have ruined the business for others.

Thankfully, there are operators here and elsewhere who pay a fair fee and don't let price only dictate who they hire.
