I was a member for awhile back in the '80s. Didn't do me a damn bit of good. I wondered why untill I got a roster of members, and found out they were mostly from the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra, with a few token jazz guys thrown in for window dressing. No country musicians, and certainly no folk musicians either. I'm Union all the way, but when the union does the working man no good, well something's gotta go. And that something was me.
