Dancers! The life of a professional country dance musician is economically challenging at the best of time. They bring us joy, and we can't afford to pay them what their talents would be worth if they were playing in more popular genres, and stringing together enough gigs of various kinds to do without a day job keeps you busy enough that you can't have a day job.

So this would be a great time to buy a CD from a professional country dance musician, or subscribe to their Patreon, or support their Kickstarter for a project they're working on, or commission a tune, or buy their tunebook, or book a music lesson, remotely or in person.
