Re: Why SHOULDN'T musicians be paid?



A few questions: what sort of music are you playing, what sort of venues are you booked into, how large are your audiences, how many people do you perform with, and what's your idea of "fair" pay?

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.
