There are plenty of funds with customers if they only did a decent job. <BR/><BR/>The revenue here can (could, did, would again) support the live music. What is going to kill the ballet (and this is proven in all but one instance) is the recorded music.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-1128784937330335842005-10-08T11:22:00.000-04:002005-10-08T11:22:00.000-04:00From where should the money come?

The taxpayers?<BR/><BR/>They are soaked enough, thank you! <BR/><BR/>The Ballet may be affected, but it can't be helped that the ballet does not have a fan base large enough to support a live orchestra. They are no more entitled to live music than I were i to operate a night club. If my revenue can't support it, I don't offer it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
