The final chapter in the Hogle Zoo ZooLights! debacle. A savvy participant on the talkbass.com forum has informed me that Hogle Zoo has cancelled its free live music at the event - thanks in large part to this blog and mostly those of you who called in or wrote in your complaints of how the musicians are treated. The director of this event who you have come to know is Cagney Smullen, abruptly delivered this information to a musician calling in to ask about the event. She said live music has been canceled due to too many complaints about musicians not being paid, and then hung up.
Congratulate yourselves!
The only down side of this is that I wish they had not erred on the side of greed and canceled the event completely, but used those university educated financial managers to figure out a way to get the performing musicians some sort of fee. But hey, it's a victory nonethless.
On the same talkbass.com forum I saw that we had a hand in canceling yet another free music event, but that wasn't specified. If I can get the particulars on that, I'll post about it.
Once again, great job, people. This is what organization and unity of purpose is all about. Now, we are known, and a force to be reckoned with.
Keep up the pressure!
