Unless you're an oil magnate or the CEO of a health insurance
company, life is very tough right now. Artists who depend on CD sales
and performances to pay the light bill have always had it tough, and now
it's become worse. Venues are closing or reducing fees paid to
artists; fans don't have the money to go out to concerts or purchase
CD's; travel expenses have made it difficult to tour.



There is a way to help keep music alive without spending a lot of money.
First of all, CD's make great holiday gifts. Purchase CD's
directly from your favorite artists. Ask for a discount if purchasing in
quantity.



Next, consider hosting a House Concert. It's a great excuse to clean
the house! You will not have to spend a dime, and will hear your
favorite artists in the comfort of your own home. Guests only have to
pay the "donation" price and can bring their own beverage.
Guests have the chance to mingle with artists and ask questions.
