Episode 71 begins with David Lane reporting on his very fun first-time experience at NAMM 2022 in Anaheim. Then he brings up a topic that might be uncomfortable but one that is important and widespread: non-union musicians for community theatre are, for the most part, still being paid the same amount they were receiving at the beginning of the century. David reads comments from musicians all over the nation who have chimed in on this to paint the current picture, and offer some suggestions as to how things might improve. There's also the debate of whether or not they should improve. Are community theatre musicians right to quibble over pay when the actors are often volunteers? Many thoughts are shared. Please feel free to message us through http://lifeinthepitpod.com to share your thoughts and suggestions. This is likely a part 1 of a continued future discussion.
