Overview

"When the passion to create music first appears it is usually about the music and not about the money that can be made from it. In fact, for many, making money with music is not even necessary. Many musicians, singers, and songwriters have led very happy lives bringing their music to the public for the simple joy of it. If this is you, then that is awesome and you don't need this book. If, however, you have been making music and have been playing in small bars or coffee houses waiting for that ""big break"" while taking home tips or a small stipend AND you would like to be able to earn a better income while waiting for that break, then this book might have the practical tips (and connections) that could make a big difference for you.This is not a ""get rich quick"" with music book. This is also not a ""how to become famous"" book. This book gives sensible guidance to help independent musicians navigate their way through the college market. It is recommended for those who are not obligated to a family because the information in this book is definitely geared toward the idea of touring which, by its nature, means that road trips will become a way of life.I know because I did this for three years. They were three of the most fun and rewarding years of my life. I was young, I drove a 1972 Chevy Nova, and I made much more money doing that than I had in the years before discovering the college market.Again, don't buy this book as a guide to becoming famous or even rich, for that matter. There are lots of books, videos, and other clues out there to help guide you in those areas. This book is a short narrative to help working performers onto the campuses of colleges all across the U.S. so that their music might be heard and they might be paid a fair amount for their talents.Larry Whitler - Author (and former touring musician)"
