itself healthy satisfactory to obtain, at least, one gig per week,
whether the band is supported in a metropolitan or folksy setting,
and whether it performs on a fulltime or part-time idea.

most lucrative turnover generators for musicians, because
families by and large are severely broad in overheads on them, and
