Bill Abel on work and job

Now i ask Bill Abel, bluesman extraordinaire from Belzoni (now living in Duncan), Mississippi. He's known for his unique crafts with drift wood, his artifacts and his great hill-country groove-boogie. Follow the man here: https://www.facebook.com/bill.abel.73/timeline?lst=725886359%3A1447455172%3A1583175723 Bill himself: "I have been fortunate to have been making a living from just playing music and making and selling art work for the past 20 years but i have to say that cd online sales completely dissappeared several years ago and (never sold many before either, mostly sold at gigs) cd sales fell off at gigs also but i still sell a few at gigs. Its dissappointing to know that music has been hijacked and stolen. now music is basically free online. I guess i beleive a professional musician is one who primarily makes his income from music. i dont think you have to be a professional musician to get attention today because of the internet. ill keep doing what i do because its what i have to do. Art and music has been de valued in our society. most schools dont teach art and music anymore. Our politicians are corrupt and have been bought by corporations therefore are doing nothing to change the internet in our country to allow mucicians to get paid. at local music venues all across our country the people complain about having to pay a 5 dollar cover charge. A 5 dollar cover charge was the charge in the 1970's." Here's Bill's pottery and painting art: https://business.facebook.com/billabelpotteryandpainting/
