[Dixielandjazz] Playing for schools

[Jim Kashishian]

But dammit, at least cover your expenses. When you give music away, people
equate it as worthless.
Steve B.


My thoughts exactly.... when I read the post earlier today about going to
schools. That post sounded like the suggestion was to get into schools no
matter how...meaning even for free! If you don't put a value to the music,
the idea won't carry any value either.  

We're the featured band on a grade school level set of school music books
that are accompanied with a CD.  There are a total of 6 books (& 6 CD's) in
5 languages (that's 30 sets of books/CD's) offered to the schools in Spain.
Believe me...we didn't do that for free, either!

P.s. Yes, there are 5 languages spoken in Spain!
