A-list players will draw roughly 3x national scale and play several
sessions/day most days of the week. From their gross in addition to
taxes and such, deduct management fees which may run 15 to 30%.

Scale isn't bad, though.

The A-list is startlingly short and the level of professional execution
is startlingly high.

My experience is that hiring A-list guys is cheaper because they nail it
on the first take so you wind up paying less for the job. Consequently
it might actually pay less to be an A-list guy....

In that case, I'll bet they make it up in 'volume' since they're in such
demand. The cartage guys may fret, though.
