Since we seem to be inhabited by musical folks ...   
      
   A lady called the Los Angeles musicians union to inquire about the cost of   
   booking a five piece band with a singer for a wedding... The AFM rep says "Off   
   the top of my head, roughly two thousand  dollars"...   
   She says "WHAT ? FOR MUSIC ?"...   
   The rep responds "Ma'am... I'll tell you what. Call the plumbers'  union and   
   ask for six plumbers to work from six to twelve o'clock on  a Saturday night.   
   Whatever they charge you, I'll work for half of that." She called back and   
   said "I get your point".   
      
      
   Regards,
