In Drums
How much did it cost to hire a drummer in the year 1504?
That's a question that is likely impossible to answer, for several reasons: 1) In 1504, "drummer" wasn't a profession. In Europe and Asia, there were musicians, and those musi…cians sometimes played percussion instruments. But there were no "drummers." 2) Even if there were drummers, there was no such thing as a prevailing wage anywhere in the world. 3) As the question completely fails to specify a locale, it becomes even more impossible to answer. The cost to hire a musician in France could be completely different than the cost to hire a musician in Japan. What does this have to do with Christmas, anyway? Nine (or however many) drummers drumming and a partridge in a pear tree. (MORE)
