KGO in 8:10: Mark Thompson’s Holiday Tipping Etiquette

Posted on December 17, 2021

Javits Convention Center, Thursday, March 18, 2021, in New York, where professional musicians have been serenading health care workers, national guard staff, and calming members of the public getting vaccines to prevent or lessen the effects of COVID-19. Most of the musicians are top-notch professionals who’ve performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, on Broadway and around the world but whose income stopped when entertainment venues were shut down last spring. The tips go to the nonprofit ‘Sing for Hope’ who sponsors the musicians by paying them for their performances. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
