Our music at Mass includes a marvelous violinist. Which brings to mind the following about the famous Fritz Kreisler who met a society matron who asked him to play for her ladies' garden club.
The date was open and he said my fee is one thousand dollars. The lady didn't blink but countered with conditions. She said "please be on time, use the servants' entrance and don't mingle with my guests." He replied "Madam, inasmuch as I will not be required to fraternize with your guests, then my fee will only be $500."
