Just curious, to any readers of this forum: Percentage-wise, or just generally, what difference do you notice in your gig income between 2008 and 2009? I know there have been some changes to the industry; care to share some general stats with this curious poster? Please include your general location. I, for example, witnessed significant layoffs in the [u]midwestern US for[/u] musicians with steady gigs (restaurants/churches/schools) and also HUGE layoffs internationally by cruise lines.
