Don is correct. Most of these guys will negotiate. It's always been a mystery to me how these organizations can collect and pay out colleted fees fairly. They're just a fact of life. I can think of 5 upscale, successful clubs here in Lexington where management has had enough and just stopped live music completely in the last two years. Usually, it's not the fee as much as the harrassment and attitude that kills the deal. Reps from one of these groups stayed at a hotel I played years ago. They would have been perfect for the Supranos...big, intimidating, stupid jerks.
