I think many other freelance musicians, apart from myself wouldn't call $243000 "chump change". No offense intended here, but what are some people thinking? that we should all get $500000 upwards? I'd be all for it, but at the end of the day, we aren't brain surgeons or heart specialists here. For as fulfilling and emotionally rewarding music can be for the musician and the listener, we aren't saving anyone's lives here by playing. (not that I've heard of anyway)
You must remember, with the possible exception of Mr. Vosburgh, Phil Smith is the BEST at what he does. He is still WAY underpayed.
