| Ahhh ok the root of all evil.
Hey David you want to comment about bar owners here.
I believe that I have heard you give the best description of what (most) bar owners really are.
To me any pay I get isn't enough.
Not that I'm greedy. I'm worth way more than they will ever want to pay.
I do it cuz its fun.
I don't need the money.
Money and alcohol makes it all an easier pill to swallow.
The place we are playing is packed every night, and I'm thinking damn I used to get 10% in my contract off the top of drink sales.
Of course if there wasn't anyone there we got peanuts.
About what the average pay is for bands. $300-500 (not much change in the last 20 some odd years)
But if the bar sold $20,000 in drinks, the band got 2 grand.
Good deal to work out if you have a huge following.
