If I was an artist and my agent didn't vote for me, for that reason, I might think that wrong too.

Wee Little Drummer talks about music nobody dances too. Is he talking about that music I love to dance to? The dance bands are even worse paid that the singers; they may not be trying to make a living from it but they are dedicated and inspiring.
Slightly off topic, it makes me mad that the 'big names' singers get all the publicity at Festivals while the bands get the small print to match their fees. "The Falconers? They're just the dance band from down the road." NO! they are the reason I come to your festival, and enjoy hearing the singers, 'big names' and 'small names' while I'm there.
