Interested to know what, if any, the affect of digital media being almost impossible sell, and/or, streaming 'royalties' going mostly to the corporate streamers, has had on new and/or young artists trying earn enough through sales to put on the kind of light shows/performances/nights described herewith. Does one feed/starve the other? Lament.
