In my case, those that I decided to cut out were on the west side of Baltimore. I reside northeast of Baltimore. Of the 8 locations I dropped, I decided to call some of my counterparts and offer the jobs to them. They were happy to get them, and I was happy that I no longer had to spend hours on end commuting on I-95 and I-695 (Baltimore Beltway), two roads that are pretty much gridlock 24/7.
I've never really had a problem getting paid in a timely manner, but I do know of a few entertainers that encounter this problem once in a while.
Good Luck, Bill,
Gary
