@storminator: UGH neal peart. SUCH TALENT. And no, Herbie's fee is $50k for himself - not for the whole act. From the sounds of it you must earn far more than him for your amazing talents... Oh and what was the one song? I can't narrow down his list of hundreds of Grammy-winning songs to just one 'hit'. Did you mean to say your absolute favourite tune? I don't need a recording contract, I'm only 20 years old. I'm glad you think your mum's hot. Nice work. And well done on the singing - I'll hit you up to perform at one of my shows when you learn how to spell Mephistophiles... but that's another matter, I know that people in your industry aren't known for their scholastic ability! Nice try though! :)

@storminator: I forgot to add - my biggest crowd to date was 15,000 people - this was more than once during high school, but I wasn't the main act. The biggest crowd at one of my own shows was 1400 for a jazz trio concert at the theatre in my hometown - age 16. I'm twenty now and living in a new town but as I say - I play on national TV every week, I can't really see any gig being better than that without leaving the country. Seeing as you asked! :D

@dieAntagonista: You're very kind, thanks so much! @storminator: Hey man, I know for a fact that Keith Jarrett has an appearance fee of $50,000 per show. And I've heard that Herbie Hancock gets at least double that - and they're averaging a gig a week at the moment. That's on top of cd sales, royalties from radio play and, in Herbie's case, hundreds of samples of his tunes being used on Hip Hop & RnB records... I don't know but I happen to believe $50,000/week is a pretty good salary! Better than pagle caging anyway. Oh, and add "personal mic technician for Billy Cobham" to that list I gave you before too. I've also done better than two guitar picks - I have drum sticks from most of the acts I've worked, I had backstage beers during the show with UB40's backline crew and I was also given a fan that one of the drummers from the Doobie Brothers used on stage to cool down. Better than two 50cent guitar picks huh :)

Hey Storminator, Thanks for taking the time to look at my links, I appreciate any views I can get on these sites! Thank you. I'm actually still a student of jazz - but I do a lot of stage handing on the side as it's good for developing arm strength and I enjoy meeting musicians from all over the world. With regards to your comments about never requiring backstage passes - I recently performed at the Wellington International Jazz festival, sharing a stage with such Jazz & Music legends as Roy Ayers, Roberto Fonseka and Brad Mehldau, and yes, I did obtain a backstage pass for this which I used to meet the artists whom I aspire to be like. I even shared a joint with Brad Mehldau, arguably the world's greatest jazz pianist! What a rush. My other back-stage experience involves setting up and sound-checking pianos and keyboards for Elton John, Michael Crawford, Vanessa Carlton, UB40, Jimmy Cliff, REM, The Pretenders, Steely Dan (a personal highlight!), and many others which I can't name right now. I also got to take part in setup for the Rolling Stones tour as well as recent David Bowie, The Police, and The Who tours for which I also required backstage passes. All access, may I add! I also work on stage at the international WOMAD festival - World Of Music Arts And Dance, setting up mics and instruments for such artists as Seun Kuti, Dj Nickodemus, Mr Scruff, and thousands of other inspirational and highly-skilled artists. Unfortunately at the moment I don't have a day job - I do however have a number of weekly gigs, appearances at international jazz and music festivals, corporate gigs as well as a spot in the band on NZ's version of Dancing With The Stars which airs on national television here. It's great fun! It's great to be in demand huh! Who knows, maybe we'll meet up on the road sometime! I hope so! Keep it real :)

Does anyone else here know that paging cables and being a runner on a show are the two biggest itch jobs there are?!
