SlapperCast Episode 291: Musicians Don't Get Paid Enough

We recorded this one shortly after leaving Lake Havasu City where we played a string of three shows over the weekend, two of which were outdoor gigs. One of those was in EXTREME heat conditions, which leads us into a discussion of how musicians really don't get paid enough for the kind of work that we do.

This one was recorded in bits, mostly on August 16 as we drove to our gig at Gracie's in Bastrop, TX. Patrick drove separately that day, so he recorded a bit by himself earlier this evening to round this episode out. Topics include why we settled on our chosen instruments, and how our different personalities blend to form a whole band.

Had some audio problems in the "van", so apologies for the choppy volume levels.
