Re: "Principal" Clarinet--Yes or No

Reminds me of the time I was hired to play on a recording (standard 3 hour session). The producer agreed to my session fee in advance. When I got my check it was pathetically low, so I called him on it and reminded him of my fee and the amount of time I was at the studio. He acknowledged that the session lasted 3 hours, but insisted on pro-rating my fee because the song was only 3 minutes long and that he wasn't going to pay me for time I wasn't recording...

Anyway, sorry to hear about this pickle they put you in. It seems capricious of them (at best) to attempt to make a distinction between your being principle or not depending on the number of other players present. They owe you an explanation AFAIC, and if they don't make good on this, take them to small claims court.

You gotta love this business, dontcha?...
