From: JWald on 16 Jun 2010 17:53 It finally happened for us. We did a multi band gig and the sound was provided. It was wonderful. So much so that now we don't want anything short of that again. Unfortunately, we aren't going to be able to afford that. My idea is to pay the guy to run my rig, and or, show me how to run my rig better. What is a fair price to pay when the gear is supplied. For a 4 pc band making 400. or less a show, I have no idea what the pay should be. Thanks. -- J Wald -- "Can't do it Sally" Tom Hagen Godfather I ----

We'll do the in, out, and transport. We've been the shmoe route, and that has been me. -- J Wald --
