Guess it started early in the morning and wound up late at night so I it was about a 12+ hour gig. He told me that everybody was non-union and if that wasn't the case, he would have made a fortune because he would have gotten paid every time it ran....and it ran A LOT!Bryce wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 8:54 amNot a bad gig. 350.00 is about 1400.00 in 2021 money.Honeyman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 12:17 am This is my best friend Doug...best man at my wedding.
