Believe it or not - most get paid nothing. They usually do get transportation, hotel and meals paid for. Sometimes they travel second class and stay at members houses. Guys like Chris R. have weekday jobs and leave Friday afternoon and then return Sunday evening. Most of the others are retired or own their own business. They seldom, if ever, get any royalties from their CD's or tapes. That is why it is considered a grueling job.
