I've had several requests over the years from people who've seen my videos on YouTube and wanted to use a track for an occasion such as their wedding, or a relation's funeral (!) - and most of these people have offered to pay for doing so. I've always said, "Use the music - no charge. Enjoy". Just give me a credit if appropriate and enjoy the music. I also constantly get emails from video promo and marketing companies who want me to join their schemes to "enhance your exposure" and "work together to build your music base". These I ignore completely. I have many of my arrangements of music for guitar and tenor guitar freely available on my website for anyone to download. In late 2016, I popped a "Donate - only if you'd like to" PayPal button on my website, thinking I might get the odd buck here and there towards the costs of maintaining the site. I've been amazed at people's generosity.
