I'm in awe of you guys. This all started with a very offhand, flippant remark by me to a fellow musician looking for help with some gigs. I felt bad originally because I felt like I demeaned him in some way. It was not my intent. I deeply respect anybody who's out there in the trenches. I don't know about all these philosophers, or avant garde composers you are citing. I just want to show up to the gig, have some fun, play well, get some applause (yeah right), and get paid. Im 4 to 6 hours away from home. Away from my family, dealing with stingy club owners, drunk assholes who want to beatbox on my mic, driving late at night when the road is full of drunks. I feel I should be paid fairly, and I am, because I demand it. Is that simple. Great thread(s) though. You guys rock. Chris
