rate of pay around the country.

In my area, you are lucky to get $100 to $125 a night for the show- The bar owners here are cheap and will pay mr bodgit the $50 and not care whether or not the show has any quality to it. All they care is do they have "entertainment". In fact I tried to explain to the bar owner where I used to work that even though I am basically starting all over again that because I invested in a new system (PC based) some new music that I added thanks to a generous birthday and christmas gift from my father that there is no way that I can afford to work for the same amount that he was originally paying me much less half that amount which is what he was offering. I mean he was asking me back so I must have done a more than decent job when I was still using discs.
