Hey Al, things must be a lttle different in the Philly area....I could probably name a dozen Solo entertainers here that make 60 G's plus a year...I can't think of one band member that makes anywhere near that...and I know people in the most popular bands..The main difference that I see is Solo acts have more options to play 5 or 6 jobs a week, where the bands are lucky to get 1 or 2 jobs within the week..
