That's why I'm in favor of it.<br /><br />Privatization of jails... don't get me started!<br /><br />Earnest & inept... why do I keep hearing these words together?<br /><br />Would that be 'Autobiography of a Yogi'? - I remember looking at a copy of that one.Geoff Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285471686105016869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442878031787004104.post-65994172663080897292012-02-06T00:11:15.279-07:002012-02-06T00:11:15.279-07:00Nola gigs no less —feedback: apparently Nola's...Nola gigs no less —feedback: apparently Nola's had started a policy re musicians get the door donation. Which is no fun and a good way to lose friends. Here is a response from a FB friend who had this proposal given. Apparently there's been a reversal which I hope is true. <br /><br />Here's my response:<br /><br />Darn ! I guess I'm not really up on all that. I've heard this was the case. Somehow they honored a previous contract... in my delusion I guess I figured this is the way it is. We did get paid but I guess from what you're saying: thats the end of that. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened to a club and I'm sorry that is the case—especially in your case. I think they didn't think the thing through anyways. Very poorly managed at least as far as music costs were concerned. They overbuilt that. I think a far better plan would have been to start with smaller groups etc. and see what kind of business that generates. But now their necks are stiff because they've lost a lot of money... they couldn't do the math?.... I'm sorry that you got that kind of treatment but I guess it's going to be like that and no one will work there after they run out of friends (of course we're not going to do that to our friends — we need our friends). Maybe a little advertising might have helped.... But people have come and do sit through the music and seem to like it.. so some business is being generated anyways. There must be a better way than the one they're proposing for their music "workers"<br /><br />As I said: it looks like that policy has been reversed and the management has decided to continue with their original policy at least for a while. They have adjusted their pay a little to be more in line with what other venues might pay. Still I hope it continues. It's great to have a place to play.austinatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11058764973410855160noreply@blogger.com
