Thank you Tom for your input.

However I do think that justifyibg the price with an 'hourly figure' for all 'add-on' costs is a red herring. Nice try though, 'hanging around time', you sound like a car delivery driver!! We called it down or dead time so we had a cuppa, you could write a song and make it productive ;0]

Is it not better to sell more rather than less and though we may regard ourselves in one light, hey , you even called me a 'professional' - wow, -
the big british pubic havent got a clue and couldnt give a shit.

BTW I do like your songs and think you are a comtenp source for material and I can see others gleaners adding your songs to their repertoire, as for me I'm still listening.

Any others out there wish to add to thos discourse about CD costs at gigs?

Capn Birds?
