Some of us have been around for a while, and I thought it would be interesting and beneficial to share our assessments of the status of the music business and our individual involvement in it.

* Where are you from?
* What type of venues do you work?
* What is the average pay rate?
* Is there more or less work than in the past?
* Are there differences in the requirements of owners/managers?
* Are there differences in what it takes to please patrons?
* What's in the future for the business, and for you?
* What would you do differently if you were starting out today?

Inquiring minds would like to know...
