Excellent breakdown from this professional musician and explains different price levels and points.
Love the three points.
Is it good money?
Is it good music?
Is it a good hang?

I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. These two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

I'd imagine it's good for a musician starting out to have on the resume to get a better gig in the future. They can say they played with former Platinum selling artist blah blah.
Re: How much do touring musicians actually get paid?
Varies widely.....
Assuming you mean "non-key" ie, "hired gun"
Some guys on large tours are barely paid and took the gig for exposure/etc.
Some club bands pay well if they want to keep the lineup tight.
$300-750 on clubs/theatre - again Wide variation
Heard a rumor about a singer who was paying the guitarist $35k+ / nite
So depends on tour/player/etc.....

I reckon all songs are folk songs. I ain't never heard no horses singing any.
