We played Bank Christmas Parties and had no problem this way.

If they WANT the Band...They'll PAY for the Band, Period.

My Sidemen never had to wait to get paid. THATS...how I kept them.  :)

You never lost one gig? How about two? :-)

I don't have issues with checks from corporate clients. I fully
understand why they wouldn't want somebody carrying around $2,000 in
cash. I never had a corporate check bounce.

Except for a questionable (private) employer, I never had an issue
with accepting a check for a gig. There's generally a contract in
place, down payment received, and I have recourse if needed (never
been needed). Especially if it's a corporate gig (or municipal, or
school system, or any bureaucratic institution) - it's just the way
they do things, and I want to make hiring me as easy as possible for
all involved. I also never had a problem paying my people in check
form - they know I don't write bad checks. All this being said, cash
is always preferable, but not insisted upon. By the way, I also have
no issue accepting a check when I'm a side man, which I usually am. (I
yam what I yam.)
