We could go back to the 18th century and have Patrons.
Music is fun..............
I love music. My landlord loves money. How can I convince him to accept a song or two for rent. My grocer is tone-deaf.
Oh...............I live in New York City.

Ok now i'm sure your not even reading my full posts. I never said you can't make money. Make all the money you want for all I care, the more the merrier. Your saying if ALL you do is play then you should get paid, and i agree. But if you worked full time somewhere else, you probably wouldn't play gigs much anywhere because they weren't paying, or atleast thats the midset you have.
