If an artist is taking 40 - 60% of their fee home and a good artist is booking up 3 - 4 days per week they are making a decent living.
I agree. I was just kind of going off on a tangent. It sounds like one of those businesses that can be difficult to predict. There are good times and then lean times. Especially in smaller towns and cities I think.

It's sort of like being a musician. There are a few at the top that do really well, and a few in the middle that make a living, but there there are bunch at the bottom that struggle. For those ones in the middle, cancelling a gig could be big deal. Again, just digressing.
