I love this time of the year. Gotta call for a church gig in Laguna Beach,
one rehearsal and a concert,$250. I'm playing in only one piece. Note
count is about 240 notes. Works out to over $1 per note. Boy I wish I was
playing Perpetual Motion Sickness or Flight of the Bumbleschnauser at that
rate. It's an 8 minute piece (lots of rests). That's 1/15th of an hour,
which makes the hourly rate $3750. That's pretty good, even for lawyers.

Who says one can't make money in music!
