Entrepeneurs generally don`t spend their time writing songs. They`d outsource this to professionals, if they`d feel the need to have songs about themselves (just like the anglo-irish gentility had tunes written for them by O`Carolan etc.). Also making money when you are already well-to-do lacks the romance you need for a song. So it can be expected that songs would deal with making a start - which wouldn`t be to different from a workers song. Muirshin Durkin would qualify, wouldn`t it?

Someone writing songs to make a living will write for a market - and the general public would be a bigger market than just the section of entrepeneurs. Workers on the other hand were a big enough segment of the market to find a economic niche.

Another question: what about farmers - they work with their hands, but still they are their own masters?

I am curious with what you will come up. Please keep us informed, it is an interesting idea.
