If you were making 250 per night, and had 3 or 4 people in the band, the venue was paying you 1000 a night.

Seems high, Depends how well off the venue is.

Anyway, some gigs were really fun, some sucked.

But I wouldnt hesitate giving a cd away for free today. The cd actually costs something, defintly wouldn't hesistate to give away free downloads.

They wont buy it anyway, music is more like a promotional item. I know songwriters dont want to hear that.

Then again our songwriters are dwindling these days.
