 Re: OT - Kenny G and others play for a $10 million bat-mitzvah
Author: Ken Shaw ★2017

Check out this story from today's NY Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/30/dining/30kitchen.html. Top chefs hire themselves out to cook dinner for your guests, at a modest $1,000 per person. One big banquet went for $500,000 plus travel and expenses.

Older threads on Kenny G say he's a monster jazz player. He does the circular breathing bit, holding a note for 10 minutes, because it makes him lots and lots of money.

Frankly, I hold a good-paying job I don't like much to earn the money for my music. In the long ago days of my youth in Chattanooga, every musician in town scrambled to play the Ice Follies when it came through. If Lester Lanin was brought in to play a society wedding, the local hires were overjoyed, since it paid for the long down times.

Sure it's whoring yourself out. If you want to make a living as a performing musician, you do that or starve. Everybody does it, and everybody gets used to it.
