I am learning that if you want to be paid for your work you have to be sure to treat your profession as a job. Demand payment - turn down volunteer gigs for "exposure" and try to get all the other musicians to do the same. This IS a profession. We've paid money to be musicians. People pay money to become doctors and lawyers but they don't work for "exposure". Why are musicians any different?

My buddy Bill & I had a nice children's program that the local LIBRARY would pay for. so if you are kid-friendly I recommend presenting nearby libraries with your pitch. Possibly room for older audiences if you have an historical twist?
thats about the only time I got paid!
love, peace & music

I doubt I can add much, but I'll sign on. Most of what I do is about 330 mile northeast of here in far eastern-coastal Maine. I live in Nashua, though, and would like to do a few gigs closer to home.
