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.
