I have made a living out of folk music for 30 years, I have visited places I would never have seen but for music. Sometimes it wasn't easy, but as I was useless at everything else I was stuck with it. Yes, it is a buisness, and needs all the backup mentioned in previous posts, so does any other job that's worth doing. I have a house, a nice car, two well educated sons who also own houses, loads of friends, and in general have a ball. As selling out seems to equate with being successfull here, I guess I must have sold out.
