Next business question:

There's someone in town looking for musical acts for a series of outdoor, weekly concerts in the summer. They say whenever it rains on the scheduled day (Sundays) the rain date is the following Wednesday.

They say that the performers they book must be able to guarantee both the scheduled date and the rain date.

I can certainly understand their position, but it does seem hard on the musician to have to commit two time slots for the fee of one, since you wouldn't be able to accept any gigs for the Wednesday.

Is there a fair-to-everybody solution that you can see, or does it just come down to whether or not the musician is willing to book two days for the fee?

Thanks, Marion

PS This is a hypothetical question for me - I'm not applying to be in this series, as I hope to have left town by then. But I am curious as to how others look at this arrangement.
