Hostile Q & A - almost done!

We are almost done with the 'Hostile Q & A!'

Basically, club owners are naturally a little hesitant about this, and musicians are generally kind of cynical as to whether or not this can work.

Every time we post a Craigslist ad about the campaign, there is a storm - mostly from musicians - about why they think making $4 an hour for providing a service is OK!


The good news is that many or most of these objections are based on myths and misinformation, much of which is throwback to the Reagan Years! Also, since they're pretty much the same objections, over and over, they're utterly predictable.

In fact, Graham fielded a call from a local press agent who called to play 'devils advocate.' basically, every one of his objections was right out of our Q & A, so Graham was able to dispatch with them deftly and efficiently, with an excellent chance to be able to so do again in future.

Time permitting, we'll have it done at this Wednesday's meeting. Let me know if you'd like to see them.
