do you mean 'compensation'?
Thats what you get when you sue, or lose earnings.
I dont think you mean compensation.
I think 'a reflection of your ability to communicate via a musical media' would be a more suitable way of describing the act of receiving reward for such efforts.
In the tube I would state that I would wish to hear further before contributing and probably 'sorry no change' would be another line. also i'm a musician compared to this, how about me doing a number and you pay me. also you should pay us for listening

once chatted to a busker who set up n with a very loud amp and engaged him in conversation for a long time. They I played along with him from a distance of 30 metres as he did, -yes you guessed- bob dylan
i can play along with morris dancers too, as long as their drummer can keep a reasonably steady beat
