Subject: RE: How do you make money in folk music?
Be true to your dream
Have what they want to purchase.
Do it well.
Be in the right place at the right time.
Be lucky. (the main one.)
If they offer you $50.00 for the gig, just tell them "Obviously you need the money more than I do."----Then offer to do a benefit for them gratis. If the venue is successful, you have a paying gig there forever.
