There's tens of dollars to be made in old time mountain music. Those who play it do so out of love for music. More specifically, love for music that embraces participants, rather than showing off for the audience. In the old days, those who didn't play the music were called DANCERS.

"Somehow over the last generation music has moved from the garage party to the concert stage.It has become something to listen to rather than participate in. There is a sense today that singing is reserved for those who are really good at it. Still, many people yearn to kanikapila."-He Mele Aloha,Wilcox,Hussey,Hollinger,Nogelmeier
