LinkLinks Afro-American: D.C. Council Passes Bill to Benefit Performing Artists By Editor On Dec 28, 2018 27 Share In 1917 the great musician Duke Ellington and his band earned $100 per night entertaining audiences on U St. in Washington, D.C. By today’s standards that would equate to $2000 which would cover paying the band, the venue, and himself. It was then, as it is today, passion not pay, that keeps the spirit alive in performing artists around the nation’s capital. DC CouncilLegislation 27 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
