Thread Name: Tips on Surviving As A Starving Musician
Subject: RE: Tips on Surviving As A Starving Musician
I was raised in Anglican church rectories, some of which were on regular transient routes. Especially in summer there would be regular visits from travellers looking for a sandwich or a couple of dollars. One did invite himself in for a snooze when no one was home, but none ever caused any trouble and some had amazing tales to tell.

If one knocks on the door of a rectory, manse, or other church house, I would hope one receives good treatment, even if it's just good advice. As Spud said, start with the Salvation Army.

"Starving musicians" can find alot of connections through church networks.

I'm not starving, one look would tell you that, but I've put up musicians several times because they exercised their influence over my good will. I hope they would do the same for me.

Peace, Mooh.
