Re: Which way do musicians make more money?
I'm not a professional musician, so I won't attempt to answer your question, but I want to say something to pro's and sei-pro's. Musicians keep telling us how little they're paid by streaming and online distribution services, and suggesting that we send a few dollars to them when we download their music. My sweetheart has been trying to donate of late, but finds that few musicians provide a way to let us do that. Musicians, try putting a "Donations" or "Support" link on your website. Who knows, someone may send money. It's not begging, just giving an option to people who like your music.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
