My understanding of "taboo" is making some sort of agreement among two or more in the business to charge a certain fee. Simply talking about what we might charge as an hourly rate, to the best of my knowledge, is perfectly fine. $60 per hour on site (I don't do high-end concert work) $50 per hour in shop (when I'm famous, I'll charge more) Tampa, Florida My best guess is that I am about in the middle of the pack for this locale. I find West Florida to have a similar cost-of-living as most of midwest USA.
