I now have an understanding of why musicians have managers.  This is the third club/bar owner who has tried to finagle Jon and I out of money for playing.  I don't understand what it is, maybe that people who play music don't necessarily have the arguing skills or confidence to demand what they should be given.  However, when an agreement is already in place, and money is involved, I'll be damned if we'll leave before we get paid.  Which is why I was sitting on a barstool in an empty bar an hour after closing last night.  3AM hello.
