We have been doing American Folk Music programs in schools for over 20 years. We could (and maybe we will) write a book about it. Doing the programs is easy and most of the time it's fun. But, booking yourself is a lot of work.

Each year it gets harder and harder to get bookings due to decreased availability of money. That means sending out more and more brochures and making more and more phone calls. We have a friend who does music programs in schools and when someone asked him what he does for a living he answered, "I'm a telemarketer and sometimes I do school programs, too".

If your willing to work hard, go for it. It can be very rewarding to your soul and your bank account.
