re $$$, I recently spoke to a musician in a nationally-known touring bluegrass band, winner of IBMA awards. He's making $20k/y, $30k on a good year. He's homeless, couchsurfing with friends and playing gigs outside the band when the band isn't touring. I was surprised and shocked, as I suspect many of the band's fans would be to hear that.
