[Updated] It's easy as music lovers to get lost in the romance of music and miss the financial realities of a life spent making music. They have an impact on what musicians do, but the relationship is more nuanced than you might think.
Slate.com's "Working" examines how people make a living, and in a recent episode, Adam Davidson interviews singer Sarah Quintana about how she makes ends meet.
