GN Version 5.0

- involved a performance in Las Vegas at the Venetian Resort
- producer Jason Michael Paul had issue with the Las Vegas Musicians Union
- disagreements over pay and a planned PBS broadcast caused negotiations to dissolve
- original plans were to have the Las Vegas Philharmonic Orchestra play and be recorded for a PBS special
- negotiations involved "months of phone calls" and "hours and hours of calculation,"
- an orchestra was brought in from out of town
- original plan was to give $1,100 USD for each of the 66 musicians
- each musician in the new out-of-town orchestra was paid only $400 USD
- the union then called for a boycott of the show
- a future PBS broadcast is up in the air
