Studio Time

[Robert B Edwardsen]

Dear Paul:

I would charge whatever amount per hour you would be making at other piano
related work.  You're not going to get a discount on your bills because you
spent 30 hours in a recording studio.  Why should you lose money because they
want you to sit around for six hours everyday?
