I just hope that live music get the rewards it deserves, more than "boxed music" (cd) . I pay for live gigs and I try to do it the more often that I can. Here is my very wild way of thinking: One-shot programmer + 600$ per cd = one-shot biz-star + 25$ per cd Please take note, every musician I know rely on day job for a living, even those who licensed their work to the unfair GEMA (I believe GEMA is the same as SACEM in France). How many musicians do you personnaly know that have a decent pay from GEMA? Anyway, all the wishes to GEMA and friends as long as I'm permitted to play the chords I love. And although not a lot, I'm paid for doing it :) regards GuyCLO~
