In response to Commissioner Chris Harris’ questioning of how much is too much to pay a band, let’s think about this.
In the case of Groovin’ in the Grove, the pay boils down to $100.00 per member, or roughly $33.33 dollars per hour. Now the real question, Mr. Harris, is: How much do you pay your electrician, doctor, lawyer or even your auto mechanic per hour? And, do they make you want to jump up and dance while they’re working?
