Speaking of salaries, Bill, I don't think I would be too far off by saying that in the 30's $1200.00 might have been a half year's salary for most people...

Don't forget Tony his band had at least 20 people in it. Everybody took home $60.00 or so for NYE in a snazzy hotel in NYC. Miller probably took a leaders fee, plus the arrangers/piano players usually got more, plus soloists...Some of those guys probably wound up with 30 bucks in their pockets, lol...
